Those extra steps can be valuable, since you'll have to work to even find the right code to copy/paste, and the context which it's in can teach you something.

Even something as simple as copying from the docs, it's usually a good place to signal deprecation, use-case applicability, API updates etc. you lose all that with the automation.

Oftentimes there's also discussion around a solution, and in many ways can swing one's decision on whether to use the code or not.
