    Or it will make shit up, as they’re known to do.

    That’s why there was step 2 in that advice, which you conviniently ignored in order to get outraged.

      Which is more efficient?

      “Let software tell me what I should do, then verify for myself whether I should do it.”

      Or:

      “Verify for myself what I should do.”

      PLEASE stop outsourcing your own thinking.

      The vast majority of people who do step one won’t do step two, and if step two is necessary, which it is, then step one is pointless and can be skipped.

        step one is pointless and can be skipped.

        no, it can’t be skipped. because you can’t verify information you haven’t gathered.

        and any information gathered by another means have to be verified as well, so step two is always necessary.
