That I would strongly disagree with, at least with regards to Stackoverflow. My experience with novice programmers is that the majority of them go to Stackoverflow to get copy/paste solutions to rather trivial problems. They don't go there to learn but rather the opposite, they are looking for shortcuts. Their ideal Stackoverflow experience would be " I have this problem, please someone write the code for me...". On Stackoverflow, this is at least frowned upon. ChatGPT however cares little about your motivation.
In my opinion, the downfall of Stackoverflow was inevitable and also pretty much warranted.
