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

We’re not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.
I’d still chose someone else’s stack overflow question every time over AI. AI is a last resort
That said, I have never asked a question on stack overflow as it’s not exactly an inviting atmosphere
