One idea I read is that showing others LLM output should be considered rude. If folks find the tools useful, by all means use them, but do others the service of translating the output back into verified, truthful, human signal first.
Yes, exactly. With Search, one evaluates a source or two, weighs veracity, reconsiders the current problem given the new information, then comes to a conclusion. All that’s out the window with LLMs. Just trust the output without any critical thought. Even worse, just paste the output to a friend or coworker like it’s authoritative.
Here’s a quick story: I have one colleague who ran some source code through an LLM to summarize what it was doing. Then they copied the output, pasted it into a document, then claim they “wrote” it and wondered where we could store this document for future reference 🗑️

It’s like asking a person for their opinion, only to have them google in front of you and then read the first result out in a boring monotone voice.
It’s obvious they don’t respect you enough to accept giving just “i think x”/" i assume x "/“i dont know”.

Sadly i have to do some projects with other students at university, and some of them just let LLMs do their work for them.
The amount of times i need to go “you are asking me to fix something that doesn’t exist” or “this is literally just wrong” is driving me insane.
No. It’s still rude. If I want to read an AI response, I can generate crap myself. Who gave you the right to throw crap at me?
If folks find the tools useful, by all means stop.
