that's another thing! people are all "just read the documentation". the documentation goes on and on about irrelevant details, how do people not see the difference between "do x with library" -> "code that does x", and having to read a bunch of documentation to make a snippet of code that does the same x?
I'm not sure I follow what you mean, but in general yes. I do find "just read the docs" to be a way to excuse not helping team members. Often docs are not great, and tribal knowledge is needed. If you're in a situation where you're either working on your own and have no access to that, or in a situation where you're limited by the team member's willingness to share, then AI is an OK alternative within limits.
Then there's also the issue that examples in documentation are often very contrived, and sometimes more confusing. So there's value in "work up this to do such and such an operation" sometimes. Then you can interrogate the functionality better.
