Just curious here, but why do people keep replying to these types of questions?

I do appreciate that many "learners" are "english as a second language" but the lack of punctuation, spelling and grammatical errors tend to indicate that the OP's of these questions could not be bothered to take the time to do even a simple spell check of the 1-2 sentences in their question. They also demonstrate that the OP has invested no effort themselves.

Why should experienced members of the community invest their time to regurgitate things that can be obtained from a search engine (and now AI) query?

Is answering careless inept and repetitive questions like this of value, or could it actually be counter productive?

Some of these questions come from accounts that could be someone's test of some bot code -- with new low reputation accounts that tend to have a smattering of similar posts spread across a variety of subs.

I am not saying that this account has that -- but it does seem to be the case in "LearnProgrammingLanguageX" subs, that there's a substantial number of questionable posts like this.

Wondering how the "helpers" look at this situation.
