And the real maddening part is that search engines have been so enshitfied to make way for AI that's wrong like 9/10, so you're forced to rely on it for answers because if you try google, the snake wraps around and eats it's own tail giving you an AI answer! stalin-stressed

They do. Most programmers think they're above average (there were actual statistics on this, maybe from stackoverflow survey) and are mediocre enough that they find it useful/faster long term.

I'm statistically likely to be mediocre myself, but I would rather try to improve than relying on LLMs. Every single coworker I work with who is actually above average hates the forced AI usage.
