Why do you say that?

I agree. I think ansible is great in principle, but the documentation is severely lacking. Like it'll tell you to set a value, but not whether it's supposed to be in yaml, environment, or something else. And if it's in yaml, it doesn't tell you the required context to make it valid. But when someone has taken all the documentation, all the tutorials, the articles, the example code, working code, and stack overflow answers and put them all into a blender, often a useful answer comes out.

Ah, but you see, they don't do it now.

This is a bad faith argument. Search engines are notoriously bad to find rare specialized information and usually return empty search results for too specific requests. Moreover you need the exact keywords while LLMs use embeddings to find similar meanings

Search engines haven't worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can't even read without an account. The Internet is broken.

No they didn't and they still don't really do that.

There are too many things (nowadays?) where you have to literally write a question on reddit, stack overflow or Lemmy or the likes and explain your situation in minute detail, because what you find online through search engines is only the standard case which just so happens to not work for you for some odd reason.

Believe me, when I say that, because I always try search engines first, second and third, before even thinking of using some bs-spitting AI, but it really helped me with two very special problems in the last month.

Yeah then people.learned how to game it and its shit now. Pointing how something worked 20 years ago does shit all for how it works now

Speak of the devil. Just a few stories down
