15 years ago the equivalent was people googling something and always using the first link as gospel truth

these things are just glorified search engines that mangle up all the results and hide the leftovers from you

That brings up a good point that I think most comments have missed. These days it's well accepted to caricature professional programming as cribbing from Stack Overflow and Google.

Both are great tools, if used as tools, with an understanding of their weaknesses and the ability yourself to make something correct from what you've learnt.

Perhaps we need to think more about how to teach people to get the best use out of LLMs the same way we get use out of Google, Wikipedia and calculators.
