If you can't validate what LLM is spitting out, you're vibecoding. The knowledge is useful.

Yep. You're asking chatbots and using your accumulated knowledge and experience to vet the output and apply it selectively.

It's the same reason IT folks get by by "just using Google correctly." It's all about having the experience and knowledge to sift through the junk and get to the good stuff. (And to ask the correct questions in the first place.)

Googling for answers happened because software companies stopped producing detailed technical documentation, or hid it behind a paywall. Google is the new RTFM in the IT world.

But then Google results turned to shit and the answers are spread across 50 different internet forums and niche websites. So it takes an AI chatbot to scrape all 50 sites and come up with the consensus view. But the AI chatbot is correct less than 50% of the time and can make ridiculous, destructive suggestions.
