No. "I don't know" may be interpreted as "I don't care". Adding additional info may be a way to say "I do care". Similar to sometimes we say "I don't know, but I googled it, and I got this".
Also, LLM's answers can be good if the prompts are good, so can still be helpful.
- boomlinde 5mo agoA much better way to say "I do care" is to be explicit about that. "It's an important question, but you should ask someone more knowledgeable."
- wisty 5mo agoTurning up to a potluck with no food says "I don't care". Turning up to a potluck with a bag of garbage you got for free in the dumpster on the way says "I don't care, and I'm so dumb I think you're too dumb to know this is trash".
- handoflixue 5mo agoThis is more like bringing fast food burgers. Yeah, it's a bit lazy, but some people do actually appreciate the effort. And post of the people complaining aren't even part of the potluck.
- imhoguy 5mo ago"I don't know. Do you want me to figure it out?" would be my take, depending on circumstances.
- ozim 5mo agoThere is whole range of requests or questions that I don’t care but I don’t want to reply „I don’t care” especially when someone asks for something easily googlable/llmable.
