> There are a million Linux websites with the same versioning issues and inadequate explanations.
Where do you think the LLM is getting its data from? At least on the website you can see the surrounding discussion and have a chance of finding someone with the same problem as you, or learning something tangential which will help you further down the line.
> With an LLM, I can get it to tell me what each parameter it suggests actually does and then I can ask it questions about that to further my understanding.
If it’s giving you wrong flags, why do you assume the explanations it gives you are accurate? LLMs can make those up just as well.
What you should do is verify the given flags on the man page. Not only will it clarify if they exist, it will also clarify if they’re what you’re looking for, and will likely even point to other relevant options.
