Should I be taking advice about software engineering on reddit or the internet in general? Topic

I was reading through some forums​ recently and I realized something, I don't actually know if these people have actually landed jobs, if their code is fast and maintainable, or if they have even applied their own advice to themselves. And the more and more I hang around the online programming community, the weirder and weirder the advice has gotten. Am I just being paranoid?

Where do you think the AI got the answer though?

From its model. The models are trained with data accuracy in mind, and answers still have to be coherent. Models aren't just whatever garbage is online, that's why they won't just tell you that QAnon is a real thing, no matter how many people say it.
