LLMs are better than slow human support of any kind for debugging / helpdesk work (which was never that welcome at SO anyway).

Stack Overflow is still great for canonical questions, multiple answers, public / SEO'd discussion between humans, etc.

But that probably isn't enough to save the company as a private equity acquisition hoping to 100x their $1.8 billion investment.

Hopefully the classic Q/A site eventually gets written off and spins into a Wikimedia-like foundation that is interested in preserving the original Q/A site and has no desire to grow or become something else.

to paraphrase a bad movie: what does a qa site need with 1.8 billion dollars?

agree, best way to preserve the original goal imo
