One of the biggest frustrations for people on SO is struggling to find a question that already exists - and then people get really angry when their question is closed as a duplicate... but what if the LLM could take proposed question text and point the person at an answered question so they don't even have to wait for an answer or a duplicate? It'd be much better than the current duplicate finder.

It’s a tale as old as time; old school forums were/are constantly battling with people posting new threads trying to get them to use the search first.

I am sure there are older internet examples as well

Edit: I love your suggestion as well, any UI UX that helps surface existing relevant content to would be question askers is golden and very important
