I will more likely believe a blog or website if I know it has been made by a real person, and not some hallucinating AI. The style of the prose is usually a giveaway of when AI is used to generate blog articles or websites.

I am starting a Masters in Computer Science, and going to learn Java for the first time. I wanted to know how to use default method parameter values. I searched for it and found this near the top of the results:

https://skillapp.co/blog/deep-dive-into-default-parameters-i...

Java developers will know that the language does not support default method parameter values. I only found that out when I tried to implement it in a test, was surprised it didn't work, thought maybe my version of Java was too old, etc.

But there is no syntax like "void coolFunction(int x=5){};" that other languages have.

One more reason that I will value a human-written article, blog or website. Please keep writing them!
