Yeah I don't even read those. If someone can't be bothered to communicate their own thoughts in their own words, I have little belief that they are adding anything worth reading to the conversation.




Why communicate your own thoughts when ChatGPT can give you the Correct Answer? Saves everybody time and effort, right? I guess that’s the mental model of many people. That, or they’re just excited to be able to participate (in their eyes) productively in a conversation.

If I want the "correct answer" I'll research it, maybe even ask ChatGPT. If I'm having a conversation I'm interesed in what the other participants think.

If I don't know something, I'll say I don't know, and maybe learn something by trying to understand it. If I just pretend I know by pasting in what ChatGPT says, I'm not only a fraud but also lazy.
