#2A lot of the reason why I even ask other people is not to get a simple technical answer but to connect, understand another person's unexepected thoughts, and maybe forge a collaboration –– in addition to getting an answer of course. Real people come up with so many side paths and thoughts, whereas AI feels lifeless and drab.
To me, someone pasting in an AI answer says: I don't care about any of that. Yeah, not a person I want to interact with.

#3I can buy into this. I always thought it was rude or at least insulting when Hollywood robotically creates slop movies. As in, of course they can do it, but damn is it insulting. There really are two types of people in the world:
a) Quantity > Quality if it prints $$$.
or
b) Quality > Quantity if it feels like the right thing to do.
Witnessing type A at scale is a first-class ticket into misanthropy.

#4I really wish some of my coworkers would stop using LLMs to write me emails or even Teams messages. It does feel extremely rude, to the point I don't even want to read them anymore.

#5I don't mind people using AI to help refine their thoughts and proof their output but when it is used in absence of their own thoughts I am starting to value that person a little bit less.

#6I find it as yet another way to externalize costs: I spend 0 time thinking, I dump AI slop on you and ask you to review it or refute me with the nonsense that I just sent you.
Last time someone did this to me I sent them a few other answers by the same LLM to the same prompt, all different, with no commentary.

#7This is an interesting take.
Cause all an LLM is, is a reflection of its input.
Garbage in garbage out.
If we're going to have this rule about AI, maybe we should have it about... everything. From your mom's last Facebook post, to what is said by influencers to this post...
Say less. Do more.

It’s the conversational equivalent of “Let me google that for you”.

#9It's deeply sad to me that I will never again be able to read a message from someone and know, for sure, that it was written by them themselves.

#10I got a feature request in the form of a PR a few months that said "chatgpt generated this as a possible implementation, does it work"?
I stopped there and replied that if you don't care enough to test if it works, then clearly you don't actually want the feature, and closed the ticket.
I have gotten other PRs that are more in the form of "hey I don't know what I'm doing. I used GPT but and it seems to work but I don't understand this part". I'm happy to help point in the right direction for those. Because an least they're trying. And seem like this is part of their learning.
... Or they just asked jippity to make it seem that way.
