Part of my point is this: If you have to read through the docs to see if the answer can be trusted, why didn't you just read the docs to begin with instead of asking the AI?

Because you skip the step of finding out which docs to read. You get the specific functions and what parts of it you should check presented to you. Also, you only need to do this when it isn't already clear.

It's just dawned on me that one possible reason is that you don't know which docs to read. I've recently been forced into learning some JavaScript. Given the original question I wouldn't have known where to start. Now the AI has given me a bunch of things I can look at to see if it's the right thing
