StackOverflow is losing users due to generative AI like ChatGPT and CoPilot, which can create code without the need for StackOverflow. StackOverflow's legal battles with OpenAI revolve around ownership of content, as users own the copyright to their contributions. Similar issues exist for other crowd-sourced platforms like Facebook. Trying to prohibit AI from becoming inspired would lead to prohibitions on human inspiration, which is impractical.
