Stack overflow and AI can coexist. AI doesn't enforce rules on how a question has to be asked or downvote you. It will be helpful for stack overflow to have AI.

The author wants a pur8st approach, i think it having a purist approach doesn't work because AI fills some gaps.

If SO votes help train AI it will turn SO into the equivalent of how Google isn't a search company, but an advertisement company with a search engine.

What will improve SO is if you had an AI that could downvote bad answers and questions and especially find duplicates and point the new question to the old question.

This would save a lot of experienced users time

This would make it easier to find the good answers.

Yes, because if there's one thing Stack Overflow needed, it was more negativity. /s
