I don't know what's worse: 1. Asking a question which could be answered by an AI 2. Pasting an AI response to something If 1 is fair game, I'd say 2 is too.

2. Pasting disregards the reader

1. Often disregards the question's recipient. Particularly for questions that could be easily answered by AI.

tbh some questions deserve the ai response pasted at them. The type that you'd like lmgtfy at them before. The edge cuts both ways; if you put zero effort into your question, sometimes you deserve 0 effort responses. That being said, I always hesitate to do this since I'm an imperfect judge

It's more tactful to tell your conversation partner such, instead of rudely sending them word vomit from a machine.

Sometimes humans talk not purely to accomplish things but rather for human contact and comradery.

Seems a bit aggressive to send to someone. Let's spread love, not hate

It's a bit aggressive to send someone mindless AI chatspam. We should consider such behavior a direct affront.

Wtf is with this excuse-making for abandoning the bare minimum of professional competency?

Typing “I don’t know” saves you more time than asking the AI and pasting the answer.
