Stack Overflow has experienced a significant decline in question volume, particularly after the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, as developers increasingly rely on AI for coding assistance. The analysis highlights that fundamental programming concepts and data analysis topics have seen the largest decreases in activity, while questions related to operating systems and specific development frameworks remain more stable. This shift suggests that AI-generated answers may be more effective in certain areas, reducing the need for human support in those domains.
