And what was the alternative to stack overflow before AI?

People were desperate for an alternative, and ran with the first semi-viable one that emerged.

AI is arguably worse than SO for precision. It will hallucinate, and agree with you when you're wrong. But stack overflow is so unwelcoming to newcomers that people switched anyway.
