That’s great when you do, and you usually do, but sometimes you don’t.
Case in point; A while back I was creating a 3D model for my 3D printer. It had a part that was essentially identical to a particular unusual pipe fitting that I have seen and knew existed, but didn’t know the name of (spoiler: I’m not a plumber), and I wanted to give the sketch in the modeling software a proper name for the thing.
Just trying keywords that sort of described it’s shape in search engines was useless. Search engines would focus more on the “pipe fitting” part of the keywords and just return links to articles about plumbing. Then I asked an LLM, and it responded with, “That sounds like X.” Then I checked that it wasn’t just making it up by searching for “X” and found online stores selling the very thing I was trying to figure out the name of.
