I regularly do both when trying to use library, especially unfamiliar to me.

Dare I say you're in the minority
I hope not. How else are you learning to use the library? The only other option is to read the source, which is also a good idea eventually, if something is unclear, but why would you _start_ there?
Ask LLM.
Bad idea.

But even in that case, you're reading the documentation. Just through a nondeterministic, hallucinating search engine.

Maybe, but still a counterexample.
