Today with Opus, Sol, etc there's basically no reason to visit the site, but when chatGPT launched it was powered by GPT 3.5, which would realistically only be able to answer a (minor) chunk of all possible StackOverflow questions.

There are many potential explanations, including the policy changes in 2018. LLMs are definitely a concurrence to the service, but since the decline started years before they were really useful, other reasons might be relevant. I don't know to what degree. I just wondered why some of the forums had significant peaks after the GPT line.
