I think the GP was proposing an organic way to expand knowledge. Reading adjacent documentation expands your knowledge of what’s possible. An LLM will tell you how to do a specific thing, but you need to know such a thing is possible before you can effectively ask about it.

In this way, LLMs may passively discourage discovery by providing immediate, specific answers. Sometimes there is value in the journey.
