I’ve found some people just pasting AI answer in an discussion we were having in a forum.
I straight up said, “if I wanted to talk with chatgpt I know the website”. And stopped the conversation right there.
I don’t even know what was the point of that.
It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they’d have it in a couple of seconds. They asked you because they wanted your take… Your context, your taste, your judgment.
But how many times do “we” (i.e.: IT, tech support for family) end up having to search for answers for people they don’t look it up themselves? I’m not saying to always spit back AI answers, but to say to not do that because people have the same tools… not a great argument.
You can use AI. Seriously! It’s a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don’t be a middleman between it and the answer.
This website is AI entryism
“Cover up your plagiarism by altering some words here and there so that people won’t immediately pick up on how pathetic and pretentious you are.”
AI bros don’t have any filters.
Incompetent or ignorant person will post the output and hope it confirms their beliefs without them even understanding it.
It sounds smart so it must support my side
Prompt laundering, the act of reading a prompt output and retyping an approximation in your own words.
Modern “let me google that for you”
I just don’t use AI at all for this. I only use it for formatting my code, auditing my code, and research (that I verify). I would never use it for communication.
I use it for skincare advice and it’s shockingly going very well because I know enough about skincare to correct it and it can put some stuff together that I didn’t think of. My husband is just like you, for code and research that he verifies.
Our neighbor tried to text us some confrontational shit about why he didn’t owe us $900 for a fence he agreed to and it was so, so bad. It was 4 paragraphs of just AI cringe. Embarrassing as hell.
The website is to send to a friend or colleague who responds to you with AI. Similar to nohello.net
I use it for communication because I am able to find better sentence structure and words with it and find best options suitable and more in line with what I want to convey.
Do this instead You can use AI. Seriously! It’s a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don’t be a middleman between it and the answer.
You’re still acting as the middle man for the answer. You didn’t answer fucking shit. If you, the human being, have nothing to add yourself, stay the fuck out of the conversation.
Yes, and that paragraph completely contradicts an earlier one.
It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they’d have it in a couple of seconds.
They’re not asking you because they want you to “polish the text” from AI. They could also do that themselves.
Yes this site is close to being good imo, but just falls short and misses the mark. Even if someone tells me verbally, “I asked AI and it said…” I mentally check out and disregard all they say lol
The other day I was out with two of my friends.
My one friend thought her car had a small issue. Me and my other friend are more knowledgeable about cars. We were like, “oh don’t worry about that, that’s normal.” First friend kept fretting until she looked it up on AI and AI said… the same thing that us, the two people standing next to her had said. She was so skeptical after what we said, and so relieved when AI said it was fine. I was so annoyed lmao.
I got an email from a client last week asking me to install an AI-generated list of containers onto a server. The key container, the database at the center of the whole system, has commits from Claude in it’s git repository. Great start guys.
They outsouced the software architect job to a chatbot and then had a veteran of the industry who has been around since the internet equivalent of the big bang install a handful of docker containers. Reverse centaur to the max.
It’s going to hurt in 12 months time if they realise the reason why everything sucks is because they built on sand. But they probably won’t even realise why the project failed because their chatbot won’t be able to tell them why.
It honestly feels very disrespectful of my time when someone sends me an AI slop response or email.
Don’t be that person.
Unrelated, by I also think it’s disrespectful of my time when somebody sends me a voice note on a messaging app
I would be stricken with grief if my reputation ever took a hit like that. I would resign and become a nomadic goat farmer. Or a bin man. Any job with heaps of shit, which is apparently my true calling.
This comes obvious to me, but if I wanted to ask an LLM I would’ve done it myself
Send this to the people in your life, you know who
I’ll wait for the “Fuck you for using AI you lazy twat” website.
Scroll to the bottom, there’s a link to a spicier phrasing.
Also, quote from there:
You’re just making someone lose respect for you in real time, in a way that’s hard to walk back.
I feel that, I have lost respect for people that way and don’t want to be friends anymore :(
Don’t copy and paste. Type it out with rage!
I never have this problem of people giving me AI responses to my questions.
What I do have a problem with is people who do this:
Just don’t reply. Been doing it for years in both personal and work contexts.
I just say hi back and check my messages again in a half hour. They blew their chance!
I have people I just ignore until there’s two notifications
I have both and now have both links saved for reference
Hey
Just ignore them. They will catch on eventually.
Yeah, I straight up don’t respond until they’ve asked/said the thing that they’re contacting me for.
Usually they finish their thought without me ever needing to respond. I did have one coworker who just… never said anything else. That’s also a win.
Are you talking about people just saying “hi” or the meta-behavior of people using nohello.net in their Teams/Slack status? Because the latter is more annoying to me
How come you find the latter annoying?
It’s the most effective way to let the entire company aware they should not start their conversation that way with me
IDK, have you considered that perhaps the people demanding to be approached/questioned in a specific way are the friction point here?
Even on the nohello site, the “right” and “wrong” conversations are the exact same length (two messages each way). I genuinely struggle to see the point of any of this.
The questions may be the same length, but what isn’t the same length is the time between the initial asking and the final answer. In the first example the actual question isn’t asked for 5 minutes after the initial conversation start, whereas in the second example the whole exchange is over in less than 2 minutes.
You looked at the word count but not the timestamps.
The hello is not the issue. But getting a notification before the question is.
Ultimately what happens if there’s a bunch of “helloers” approaching you, you end up muting the messaging app and only check messages every X time. Rather than being available, pros and cons. And there’s definitely an argument to be had, that it’s the superior way of working - But hello only people, just shoot themselves in their foot and get longer time to response
I should probably clarify that it’s pretty rare for me to receive a message that’s literally just “hello” or “hi” followed by nothing. At the least I’ll see the typing indicator so I know there’s more coming, but the link in the status message just reads passive aggressive. Also - is the person that’s sending you a ping or SYN really going to notice your status?
I used to contract with a company where it was almost ubiquitous for someone to start a text-based conversation with the entire message: “Hey…” — ellipses and everything. It was bad enough that other members of my company that were contracted to the same contract would jokingly add ellipses to random things when messaging each other.
I love it… when people use ellipses… in business writing. So dramatic… so mysterious…
Odd…
…?
It has been an interesting experience telling people who only say hello that they’re being rude.
I think autism bit me in the ass again 😭
I don’t think this accounts for situations where people never read any announcements or docs and DM you with the same questions over and over again despite your best efforts to spread the knowledge.
People who DM you with Hi <Name> or GM! Then silence.
People who don’t know how to use asynchronous communication and are still stuck in the email era.
A cheap smart auto reply is worth more to me than hurting people’s feelings. My feelings are hurt when you think it’s okay to ask me a question in the FAQ, especially when it’s an established doc site.
Things aren’t this black and white, what I experience is not the same as this person. I may paste some AI slop vomit but that may very well be the insult that I am reaching for as I will not be your personal search engine for simple troubleshooting.
I actually like responding to these things. Its nice to chat with someone. The problem generally is my bosses don’t like it as a use of my time. I sorta miss back when being a tech person meant helping people individually with what they needed half the time. It was a nice break from the servers and such.
