I do it, on purpose: it teaches people to do basic research by themselves, and not hit me with questions they could have gotten with a simple chat with their llm. It's a kind of RTFM for current days.

I can imagine it makes things easier for you but I find it hard to imagine it teaches anyone anything. Just offloading social effort to an LLM (fair enough but let’s call a spade a spade)

  • I don't mean to paint myself as the smart one for doing that. It's a coping mechanism. But I disagree: it teaches... something. The risk is that it's not what I thought it would be, eventually.
