Comment on Google will now verify if you're a human by turning on your webcam and asking you to wave your hand

Performing the search yourself provides an opportunity to critically evaluate the information you’re finding and, if applicable, take into account any bias a source may have.
Can’t comment on code generation.
I suppose it depends on the Linux difficulty but reading through documentation and ArchWiki typically gets me enough info to make a more informed/refined search. You’re also likely to stumble across information you’ll want to know rather than just find an answer to the question you’re asking.

Your responses are the equivalent of “I don’t use the internet, because nothing beats the experience of walking to your library and looking through the research material yourself”.
Sure, I can do all of those things. But, sometimes I don’t want to spend hours going through the searches, bang my head against the wall with useless tech forums, and get frustrated with shifting through the results. The LLM can get it done in a minute or two, and I can still ask follow-up questions if I don’t trust anything, or want clarification.
And yes, like Wikipedia, I still review the sources and review the code.

No, my responses are literally “AI answers, legwork teaches.” If you don’t understand or appreciate that difference you are doing yourself a disservice.
