I personally consider "I asked ChatGPT to generate a response to you" not witty but a form of an insult. Don't do that please. If that is how you want to talk to people at least don't tell me. It's offensive.

@tante My correspondence would then consist solely of pure commands and direct instructions.

@tante Personally it makes me feel a weird kind of sadness.As if I was looking at someone who's been struggling to open a jar of pickles for 10 minutes but they've got too much pride to admit that they can't open it.

@tante AgreedI explicitly note in emails that there was no use of AI/LLM’s in any way, just to make it clear

@tante You're right — I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be dismissive or impersonal. Thanks for telling me how that came across; I appreciate the feedback and will respond directly and personally from now on. If you'd like, I can rephrase my earlier message in my own words. 🤗

@tante I actually want people to tell me if they are using a bot to speak to me. That way I can just block them lol

@tante On the other hand it's an efficient way to identify people to block so they don't produce even more CO2 just to tell me they can't be bothered to interact like a human.

@tante I basically blank everything after "ChatGPT/Claude/Trump said" and skip to the next paragraph.

@tante I'm OK with it. It's a useful flag that I can stop reading.

@tante I usually respond “Sorry, I’m not going to read what you didn’t write.”

@tante “AI:DR” is definitely my mindset. The ol’ “if you can’t bother writing it I won’t bother reading it” stance.

@tante Lots of people still haven't worked out that ChatGPT isn't a search engine. I hope the people setting tonight's pub quiz have finally seen the light. It's been pretty dire the last few times. Babylonian Empire was the largest in history? How do you even hallucinate that?

@tante in my case "asked [insert llm here]" is a quick way to loose credibility. also... "google" is a company, not a verb (being so is just marketing), the action has always been "search". i have not used google search in years... my 2 cents

@tante "I asked chatgpt to respond because you mean so little to me I dont care if you get impersonal inaccurate information and am hoping you take the hint and kindly fuck off and die in a corner.K?"is what I would mean if I ever said that to anyone. Actually I would kindof like to have that opportunity.

@tante In this particular circumstance, I don’t think you’re being very fair to the person who told you that they’d sought an answer to a question you asked, and what they found when they did so. They even took the trouble to tell you the source of what they found, allowing you to judge the credibility of the information.Of course, you may have thought their choice of resource was not consistent with your way of thinking, and perhaps you assumed that they follow you closely enough to know this (not an unreasonable assumption, if a bit self-centered).At least you had the decency not to call out the person whose help you rejected and subject them to a pile-on resulting from your own mistaken reading of their reply.

@tante Why? Because it suggests you are not smart enough to do something? Or some other reason?I guess it is transparent. It provides help (the best given person can give, probably), the source and instructions how to get it by yourself in the future. If you don't like it, you can just ignore the answer. Or person.
