I never had an LLM tell me my question was already answered and imply I was stupid for not finding it. SO dug its own grave and jumped in.
Sometimes your question was simply visually similar to another but conceptually very different, and it'd get closed for being a duplicate anyway.
Then you have to re-ask it, now with a couple extra disclaimers spelling out that indeed you did use the search function but no, the other visually similar question isn't actually the same as yours.
Then you'd get maybe 2 comments and -2 in downvotes.
It is curation process, so when you search you are not overwhelmed by 100 identical answers.
Being stupid in this case is irrational self-(mis)-perception.
Probably they really meant to say you are lazy and shift work on mods.
