Some of the "duplicate" questions that I have seen on Stack Overflow are phrased entirely different than the supposedly "original" one. It's like they expect me to brute-force their entire fucking search index before publishing a new question. I don't have that much patience or time.

Unless they're being rude about it you shouldn't take that personally, they're doing exactly that job for you and it's useful to make easier to find contents for other people

Stackoverflow gets quickly steamrolled by AI.

We're not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.
