      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
