Hi,

In as far I still hold my position, and you can review
the position in 3-5 years when stupid cows like the MSE
people have done all their learning:

This here:

The content you provide must either be your own original work, or your 
summary of the properly referenced work of others. [...] Generative 
artificial intelligence tools are not capable of citing the sources of 
knowledge used up to the standards of the Stack Exchange network.

Is mostlikely outdated. It ignores RAG:

Was ist Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?
