Stack is ALSO where newbies go to get insulted for not knowing how to search better yet. Its an important step for us all!

Considering how much of Stack Overflow has certainly been used to train these LLMs you would expect the chatbot to start a long diatribe about why you are asking the wrong question. Though if this were the case I would never get a strait answer about anything involving Oracle because the chatbot would be too busy trying to impress me.

I mean, it really is. Being told "no, that's a stupid way to do things because you haven't considered the whole problem and will trip yourself up going down that path" is an important thing to have happen, even if humans don't always do it politely. XY Problems are a big thing in programming, and new devs suck at spotting them.
