Then you're using it wrong.

Weird I've never had to manually install a driver for windows.

As a developer I use it mainly for learning.

What used to be a Google followed by skimming a few articles or docs pages is now a question.

It pulls the specific info I need, sources it and allows follow up questions.

I've noticed the new juniors can get up to speed on new tech very quickly nowadays.

As for code I don't trust it beyond snippets I can use as a base.

It was over 15 years ago now. Younger users may have seen references and not know what it is.

Unless you like revealed details of a crime that only the criminal would know there's no way to prove if anything you said is real.

That's great!

I'm around the same time. At my first job I had a stack of reference books for the languages and technologies I use.

I would actually argue things are simpler now based purely on the fact that there is such a big ecosystem of libraries and services available that you don't need to write everything yourself.

It's true it can be hard to find what you want but I've found LLMs (at least ones that search the internet like copilot) are really good at pointing you to existing options.

I bet they could if they wanted to tbh.

They're mainly used to train AI so that would be a bad move

It's actually a pretty accurate and slightly clever name haha
