Why not ask chatgpt?

Because it will tell you blatantly wrong things. Like the difference in SBus card compatibility between sun4c and sun4m machines is because the sun4m machines have a PCI bus!

Also it doesn't provide links to actual content.

ChatGPT as a search replacement generally increases my time investment.

You simply state a dumb statement, comes the correct ones.

If there isn't already, there should be a phrase for this - maybe "expert fishing", "strategic naïvety", or "answer-directed trolling."

The key insight seems to be that internet people seem more likely to correct you than to help you, so you phrase your query to attract helpful correction.

A lot of /r/Ask* subreddits are heavily moderated and very good for in-depth knowledgeable replies. I have collected over 175 books to read just browsing /r/AskHistorians, /r/AskEconomics, /r/AskSocialScience, /r/AskScience, /r/AskScienceDiscussion, /r/IRStudies, /r/AskEngineers, /r/AskPhysics.

Same here, I used to have a rule that at certain times I’d switch to those subreddits as soon as I opened HN.

/r/AskAnthropology is a decent sub btw.
