Yeah if AI was actually good you wouldn’t need to mandate it. No one was like “everyone here must use Google search”.

Microsoft when Bing first came out was literally like “it is highly recommended that everyone here use Bing Search”.

Also there was a brief time within the Linux community, hen asking for solutions in forums were disencouraged in favor of using Google, especially as that time Google was seen as a force of good, as Chrome wasn’t the RAM-eating beast powering almost all browsers and ~80% of desktop apps, also not even the content ID system was implemented on YouTube. This made the Linux community more toxic to newbies, hindering its adoption rates to this day, with memes claiming “you should google forums telling you to google the problem”.

Yeah lmgtfy.com was funny BC at that time Google search really was good, and some questions really were super low effort and annoying, and lmgtfy was a little in joke to let off some steam, kind of like rick rolls.
Of course some people were a dick about honest new people trying to get started. A problem since the original Septembers and perennial during this eternal September.
