a dead end loop, apparently, applying not just to Stack Overflow but all similar content providers:
A. AI became "Intelligent" thanks to Stack Overflow
B. Stack Overflow collapse due to AI
C. AI cannot update/evolve due to lack of Stack Overflow
Who is going to produce mediated and revised ('good') content?

Human trainers. There are tens of thousands of people doing it full time for AI companies. Their mode of work isn't much dissimilar from answering SO questions. Just in a closed manner.
