  That’s such a strange question. It’s almost like you imply that Google results do not need fact checking.

  They do. Everything found online does.

        They also aren’t valuable for asking direct questions like this.

        There value comes in with call and response discussions. Being able to pair program and work through a problem for example. It isn’t about it spitting out a working problem, but about it being able to assess a piece of information in a different way than you can, which creates a new analysis of the information.

        It’s extraordinarily good at finding things you miss in text.

    Agree.

    I found it more tempting to accept the initial answers I got from GPT4 (and derivatives) because they are so well written. I know there are more like me.

    With the advent of working LLMs, reference manuals should gain importance too. I check them more often than before because LLMs have forced me to. Could be very positive.
