A recent study published in the PNAS Nexus journal suggests the rise of AI models like ChatGPT may be challenging the dominance of traditional knowledge-sharing sites like Reddit and the programming forum Stack Overflow.

The research, conducted by Maria del Rio-Chanona and her colleagues, shows Stack Overflow saw a 25% decline in user activity within just six months of ChatGPT’s launch.
