I started using LLMs in 2022, quickly turned away because the things obivously made up stuff I am a certified expert it. Back to Stack Overflow. Came around to LLMs in late 2025 again as they rolled it out in my workplace and quickly succumbed to them becoming my all-knowing, (almost) flawless, infinitely patient teacher - that was the last time I opened Stack Overflow.
AI never tells me I'm dumb for asking a question, never passive-aggressively shoves genuine questions aside. And AI can just be as critical in dissecting my flawed approaches to problems as SO could be (which is good!) but without the toxicity.
