I've dialed down a lot as well. The answers I got for my queries were too often plain wrong.
I instead started asking where I might look something up - in what man page, or in which documentation. Then I go read that.
This helps me build a better mental map about where information is found (e.g., in what man page), decreasing both my reliance on search engines, and LLMs in the long run.
LLMs have their uses, but they are just a tool, and an imprecise one at that.
