In essence, you are correct. What I see with LLMs is how they will happily make up stuff, meanwhile you can pretty much exhaust SO, until you are forced to understand the problem you are having.

You don't have to be a certain person to fall into this trap, you just condition your brain to accept this workflow somewhere.

Pair this with day to day work stress like time and amount of tasks and you almost give in to a sort of addiction to deal with it all.
