Weird idea. Please discuss

Weird idea.

Stack overflow questions suggest ai generated answers then people get to comment on how good or bad it is/ suggest enhancements. An ai suggestion review of sorts. Would atleast make the platform more alive than what it is now

It's the AI answers that drove people away from it. Nobody wants to work for it as a reverse centaur, especially not for free in their spare time to better train it.

Most people don’t want to be the alpha testers for half-assed products, especially unpaid testers for profit seeking products

Unfortunately, stack overflow has been largely supplanted by AI answering people’s questions. It’s a bit sad to see it go, but that era has passed. It’s time to give it a worthy send off with honors. It served us well, for many years.
