Where will AI's get the training data to answer questions now?

AI is smart enough to figure out many answers from docs or code prototypes.

Smaller fraction of novel questions are still submitted on SO, github discussion and mailing lists.

Right, there's a lot of schadenfreude about SA not being so popular and serves them right for being mean when I asked them a question... but it was also no doubt a gold mine of AI training data. Stands to reason this may be an agentic AI golding age, as future models just eating their own data.
