Because it’s lossy compression. I also consumed a lot of books and even more movies and I don’t have good memory of it all. But some core facts and intuition from it.

AI is far better at regurgitating facts than me even if it's lossy compression but if someone gives me an api doc I can figure out how to use it without them writing a wrapper library around the parts that I need to use to solve whatever problem I'm working on.

I think this is where AI is faling short hugely. AI _should_ be able to integrate with IDEs and tooling (e.g. LSP, Treesitter, Editorconfig) to make sure that it's contextually doing the right thin.
But it's not.
