    Honestly? It’s a great place to start, especially with every search engine being worse than anything pre-2018

    I used to have to post my error codes to a forum if googling them didn’t immediately get my anywhere and pray someone would reply something actually useful some day

    Now I can ask ChatGPT to point me at something and go from there. If it assumes wrongly about anything I can correct it rather simply. Its really good at turning documentation written by somebody who hasn’t spoken to another human in 15 years into something my stupid ass can better understand, too

    AI is a powerful as shit tool, people who slag it as not having any utility are about as ignorant as the people saying it’s the second coming of Jesus himself

    I’m personally planning to host a local model to avoid supporting commercial shit, but that’s a project for down the line rn
