Seems a bit aggressive to send to someone. Let's spread love, not hate

It's a bit aggressive to send someone mindless AI chatspam. We should consider such behavior a direct affront. Wtf is with this excuse-making for abandoning the bare minimum of professional competency?

  100%. Just because you can plagiarize basic correspondence doesn't mean it's OK.

  I agree with the sentiment, but this is not something I can send my colleagues. You can be annoyed and right, and still avoid being crass.

    Perhaps this falls into "how to have hard conversations" bucket?

      If I told my coworker that his or her "brain is a gizmo" and to "not reproduce" I would expect to be frog marched out the door a few minutes later.

        "Your brain is a gizmo" doesn't sound very harsh to me, but "please don't reproduce" would be a problem in any reasonable workplace.

  I do think that pasting AI responses gives "reading the encyclopedia entry at someone", which is quite rude and crass, but you can't open peoples' eyes with similar levels of rudeness. Especially when it's an accurate description. I appreciate a good screed and also think we are looking for a subtler tool.

  mental health is really important and there seems to be a growing trends of folks making comments on HN like this who sound really burnt out. burn out can be hard to place, ive been through it and in now way do i share this reflection. ide rather reach across the isle and just help someone vs. go on HN and complain like this.

The wording is a bit rude but the message is still important.

  The point of a message is communication. The most effective means of communication is seldom rude, mean, crass, or blunt. Tact is not some barrier to clear communication, it is the very thing that allows communication to happen in lieue of violence and savagery.

Pasting AI at me feels like hate. I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy.

It's even more aggressive, inconsiderate and boorish to paste multiple paragraphs of LLM output at somebody in response to a question or topic. Let's normalize having no tolerance and calling out people when they're being rude.

A bit of crudeness required in this case.
