How would chatgpt streamline that any better than other documentation and skimming things like programming blogs and stackoverflow?

It's not as dumb as you are suggesting. I've been programming in various languages since the 80s and I can say with confidence that your take is, at best, absurd. Go spend some time with GPT 4.

I'm IP banned due to my VPN. If they don't want my business, that's fine. I'm not getting off my VPN just to interact with proprietary software.
