people are often nasty when others ask questions they assume to be stupid.

It sounds to me like you might want to reevaluate the communities you're in. This sounds incredibly toxic.

And I agree, for simple questions, it can be helpful. I would caution against overreliance on the answers though. Even the best models available today hallucinate regularly. Always verify answers when they are important.

Also, learning to read documentation directly is a valuable skill to develop. Even if you don't rely on the documentation directly, reading a lot of it will make it easier to write documentation as well.
