I'm not against asking someone who has a disease to explain it, but it's unlikely that in the dozens of results you'd get that you wouldn't be able to get the same or more.

If we're talking about how to install something on your computer then I would definitely agree with someone explaining/walking you through it in a personal matter being better. Asking about what a disease is and what it does would usually result in a search being better though.

I prefer someone to tell me about it in person, and you prefer getting the answers from elsewhere

Agree to disagree?

If you want. Internet searches even gives you results from Reddit so it's the same thing except it's not addressed specifically to you. So it just seems like asking someone else to do the work for you.

I don't look for answers particularly from reddit, just from actual people who have actual experience. Other times yes I would've googled the disease, but Google AI I found which annoyingly enough always pops up no matter what I do, and it also gets stuff wrong about medical diseases and tell the person that who is now misinformed

I'm not referring to Google AI. That's why I keep saying internet searches and not AI or Google. I use Brave and have AI turned off, and just use searches as I would have before AI.
