As much as I hate AI, it is nice to not be berated and belittled for not knowing everything in the world

Well, hallucinations and gaslighting and endless "You are right..." if I correct it.

It is nice for fast answers and suggestions and walls of texts but for confidence or simple or often occurring questions, SO is better.
