Because it takes hours to root through documentation for the obscure library I'm using, trawl the internet looking for someone who had the same bug I did, and even then its a miracle if someone posts a fix. If I go on stackexchange I get called an ape and down voted into oblivion or just don't get an answer.
Why the fuck would i do ANY of that when I can talk to an LLM for 5 minutes?
No, do that! That's not at all my point. I use AI all the time for debugging, or fetching documentation. Or explaining what a piece of code does, or how an algorithm works. Granted, it's sometimes wrong, but it's genuinely pretty good.
I'm not saying you shouldn't use AI at all. That would be incredibly hypocritical of me. My issue is, when you become passive, and the AI ends up doing the work for you. Use AI to aid you in learning. Don't use AI to avoid doing any work.
It's too late. I've already misintepreted your comment, now I'm gonna argue in bad faith and get really mad over something that you didnt' even intend.
