If i see a doctor look up something I immediately trust them more. It shows that they are open to more that the bare minimum and willing to learn if needed.

There's this meme of 'why is ChatGPT expert on everything but the area I have knowledge of'.

What you're describing is a professional looking up aditional info, with ability to sift through and judge the result, and I appreciate it in specialists of all the professions.

This is however largely not what this meme is about as in my experience cobbling together random snippets of code rarely if ever works.

That's just Gell-Mann amnesia applied to chat bots.
