First of all SO should not try to compete with AI, someone in the comments said AI used SO data too for training, which I believe is 100% true. Now simply integrating AI in the platform is a cliche. SO should not try to compete with AI, what I guess would work best is to repurpose the whole platform keeping the original taste. More AI related and AI dev related problems should be asked. Right now If I'm working say with claude code and ran into an issue then I put that issue in AI again to get a resolve, and I'm not sure if what solution AI came up withis good or not, maybe it works, maybe it won't, maybe it works initially but might cause trouble on prod. So maybe SO can work as 'verified programming truth or source', like documents for real problems, and rather than technical only it can have idea oriented questions and solutions too. Imagine if SO did not had so much issues and solutions mentioned, then AI would make a lot of mistakes, learning to code and building actual applications and projects has a gap, so teaching only coding to AI won't be of much help as the knowledge or training of actual working apps. I would start using SO again if they address issues of today, AI, Vibe Coding, Marketing, Infra, Costs and many. Not sure if this would work or not because this still needs users to start looking at SO a little differently, but not to make that another reddit at the same time. So as a PM for SO I might have the best or better solution to make it great again but just the direction of repurposing the platform might help.
