But what about SO's famous toxicity? Can agents be toxic? SO's - “Your question is stupid.” can save a lot of resources;)

"Your question is stupid" can be rephrased as, "This is how you can improve your question..." SO used to do this a long time ago, but they decided that the site was being "flooded" with low quality questions and removed that. This seems like something cheap AI can do just fine.

The main problem is that less and less human visit stackoverflow, but not others. So I think it should face to agent but not human in this case.
