Also, people don't seem interesting in figuring tech stuff out, its so easy to just google an error message, and read what it says.

    Sure, but google an error message + one or two tiny details still will 70% of the time return something useful.

    Its gotten worse, but not that bad yet.

    At that point, as silly as it sounds, run it through a locally hosted LLM

    they got trained on the documentation for a lot of these softwares, they're shockingly good at error code lookup and providing correct solutions because they basically print out the help page that's now hidden by search engines

    I still sanity check every answer I ever get, but it helps narrow shit down when Google or others aren't fucking behaving themselves
