Data Rule Numero Uno:

Garbage in, garbage out.

Have fun training your LLM on a big steaming pile of hot garbage. That's 80% of Stack Overflows content.

Mostly "this has been answered in another thread" and "why don't you Google it" comments in my experience.

Can’t wait until the top answer to every Google search is “just google it”
