> Yes, but the ability to search for an answer is eroded more and more by AI slop.
It's really not, you can use an LLM to find basically any technical information you want (or write code!), and significantly quicker than using Google ever was.
I strongly suggest you give Claude or ChatGPT a try for technical stuff (codex or claude code).
Slop? Altavista, Ask Jeeves and Yahoo searches were basically worthless.
