Stack Overflow facing decline in traffic and usage

Stack Overflow has experienced a significant decline in traffic and site usage, with a 35% decrease in traffic over the past year and a half. The number of questions, answers, and votes on the platform has also decreased by approximately 50%. This decline can be attributed to LLMs (large language models) that have affected the core value proposition of Stack Overflow. The team is working to address the challenges of handling AI-generated answers without alienating the original sources of good answers and adapting to a world where people turn to LLMs instead of websites for answers.
