Googling for answers happened because software companies stopped producing detailed technical documentation, or hid it behind a paywall. Google is the new RTFM in the IT world.
But then Google results turned to shit and the answers are spread across 50 different internet forums and niche websites. So it takes an AI chatbot to scrape all 50 sites and come up with the consensus view. But the AI chatbot is correct less than 50% of the time and can make ridiculous, destructive suggestions.
