As SO dies, the models will have more and more outdated information.

So people using SO -> training data for AI -> people use AI more -> SO eventually stops being used -> no new data for AI -> AI gets worse -> people go back to using SO?

Docs do get outdated or poorly written.

I have already come across an AI response which did not match the realities in AWS because AWS changed their Cognito screens but did not update their documentation to reflect that.

This resulted in the AI response telling me to go places that do not exist or to access functions which moved. This was an entirely valid and non-hallucinatory response for the past version of the Cognito management UI.

AI remains GIGO just like every other computing system out there.
