Is it much more different (in quality) to "I don't know what I'm doing, but [SO/learn x in 24h bootcamp] helps me pretend that I do"?
I guess I see your point in quantity. I could see how this would be more widespread than c/p from SO. And the results would "look" better crafted at a glance, but might explode later on.

I would argue "yes" - it is far more easier to pretend with LLM, because the loops are way more faster. When copy & pasting from StackOverflow, you need to, at least, gain some type of understanding from what you are doing. There is no one to help you. With an LLM, you can keep on asking questions - if you hit a roadblock, you scrap the last 10 iterations and start over, because it is so fast.
