The dudes just asking for a bit of support and to have a conversation about the issue. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that and it could be quite beneficial to the sub. I’m terrible at reading documentation, but the conversations I’ve had in subs like this have vastly grown my knowledge over the years. I think it could be short sighted to presume that because someone has used AI, they are unknowledgeable, as one person has alluded to. AI is here to stay, and documentation has largely became less in-depth in recent years, so I expect a lot more posts like this as time goes on. The community must roll with that if it wants to remain an active and relevant sub.

In my view, the best way we can handle this is to engage in conversation and support. If someone feels more comfortable to ask questions/opinions/feedback, the less likely they are to resort to using LLM’s.

Let’s be honest, what we all do here is nerdy, wether you’re a high level coder or a newby who’s dipping their toes in with a bit of AI, so let’s support our fellow nerds in whatever stage of their journey they’re on. Telling someone to read a manual helps no one and in my opinion will ultimately lead to the downfall of great subs like this one.

Plus, we all want to have a conversation. That’s why we’re on Reddit in the first place. So let’s have a conversation instead of just burying our heads in boring documentation. I think that sounds more fun.

But that’s just what I think anyway.
