It's a matter of habit. I personally don't search for answers on the internet to begin with. I use Zeal/Dash to store docs of the tools I use locally, and directly read reference docs for what I need. If I need information from a very specific page, I always bookmark or take note of the specific page, and return to that automatically. I also always read beyond what I need to see whether I'm missing something or holding something wrong. If that's I use very frequently, I further document what I do, and how it works in my personal knowledge base.

In surface asking ChatGPT is not different using StackOverflow for everything, but I can argue that StackOverflow bears the same dangers, unless the answer given is comprehensive and written with collateral information in mind.

However, having a personal assistant on tap which can answer (or hallucinate) anything or everything will definitely make you lazy.
