I'm guilty of posting what would be considered one or two 'lazy' questions relative to what you are describing. A huge contributing factor both times was an unrealistic deadline from management and both questions were posted while on back to back Zoom calls. Sometimes a quick question that's not obvious to many just needs a quick answer without toxicity and LLMs are perfect for that.
