I see what you mean, but I actually think there is a place for copy/pasting AI responses. I think of it as a kind of cache, surely a HN comment being served to n users means less resources used and faster access than if all n did their own AI query. But then of course you don’t get exactly your preference e.g. you might prefer a terser response than what is pasted here. Interesting to see how the etiquette around this plays out over time.

If you ever wanted to share an AI response, you probably should share your prompt, not the response. But likely you should not share anything, for the reasons already explained. Your argument about saving energy makes zero sense if you have any understanding of orders of magnitude but I won't share what AI says about it.

Ironically you are being incredibly rude trying to support an argument that posting AI responses is rude. I guess we can conclude you know nothing about anything.

I never mention rudeness, I dont give a shit about random people online being "rude". It's just something I don't like, so I shared my opinion.

Still ironic. Just so you know I might have considered what you said and changed my mind, but being rude made me dismiss you immediately. Just sharing my opinion
