I haven't really used it much? When I was new I made an account and posted answers (if you see any answers from deleted accounts with like 14k points there's a solid chance it's one of mine), but I quickly realized it's pointless.
The posters are not trying to help you learn something, they're pointfarming with the target audience being other pointfarmers. And even if they were trying to help you, it's just the blind leading the gullible.
Your post was a good insight though in that it's the same kind of failure category, just with a different modality, in that both SE and LLMs tend to produce poor quality answers with hidden faults that you need to already know about the thing to identify.
The difference is that LLMs will make things up wholesale or push towards sycophancy while SE will push towards "I know the answer but you haven't earned it" (they do not in fact know the answer).
