I find myself asking an AI things and getting an answer that makes me go “what the actual fuck, why would you do this when you SHOULD do it this other way”

Which is the best way it’s helped me.

Making me realize I know what I’m doing already.

Your points are salient until you start yucking other people’s yum. The person you were responding to was obviously being good natured.
