You’re no better off than if you did an internet search and tried to figure out who’s giving good advice, or just fumbled your own way through the docs in the first place.
These have their own problems ime. Often the documentation (if it exists) won’t tell you how to do something, or it’s really buried, or inaccurate. Sometimes the person posting StackOverflow answers didn’t actually try running their code, and it doesn’t run without errors. There are a lot of situations where a LLM will somehow give you better answers than these options. It’s inconsistent, and the reverse is true also, but the most efficient way to do it is to use all of these options situationally and as backups to each other.
Yes, it can be useful in leading you to look in the right place for more information, or orienting you with the basics when you’re working with a technology that’s new to you. But I think it wastes my time as often as not.
