Is this due to the chatgpt?

Its so exhausting having to train chat gpt to be condescending and to close all my threads as duplicates though

The perversity of SO rewarding people for ensuring that the answers on SO are becoming increasingly outdated absolutely befuddles me.

ChatGPT went public at the start of the last kink downward. It can not be the reason for the big drop untill 2023.
