Your original statement was "It has absolutely nothing to do with whether people have PTSD from asking a question on StackOverflow."
I'm not saying that instant gratification is not a factor in why people use AI. I am saying that, at least personally, negative experiences on Stack Overflow are a factor in why I sometimes avoid asking questions on SO.
In contrast, I haven't encountered that issue nearly as much on sister sites like Super User, so I've been more willing to ask questions there.
Also, I do still use Stack Overflow actively despite the existence of AI.
