Hello all, long time lurker, sometimes poster. In my line of work some of my co workers seem eager to turn to the clanker to get an instant answer to any road block. I feel its better to problem solve the old fashioned way. With some good old research and finding a blog that is not AI slop LOL. Do those of you in a support role find any peer pressure to use LLMs?
I like using it for finding documentation that explains why x doesn’t work or explain what and why.
Just getting answers is hollow. Having a research assistant speeds up the learning process. To me that is worthwhile.
I tell people if they are gonna use it, use it like a rubber duck or a RAG on devdocs.io. Wish i could limit a query to just devdocs honestly.
More often than not, that’s the kind of usage that helps me to have it talk around the perimeter of a subject to the point where it stimulates me to think about the actual solution.
