I am curious, why is this an illusion? I have experienced the same (or at least similar) feeling of getting better after getting my hands on a search engine like google. I never stopped using a search engine since then to check if I am suffering from this “illusion” you’re talking about. Should we?

I seriously suggest getting a book and typing out a listing totally from scratch. It's interesting to actually type out another person's style of solving a problem because not only is it alien feeling to "solve it that way", it's also interesting to physically solve it that way. I did this recently and was surprised to see myself solving the problem "that way" at work. It was much more elegant and more readable than what the AI was suggesting.

Thanks! I'd heard good things, I really should spend some time with that.
