I agree with the messaging generally, but unfortunately to fight implicitly unprofessional behavior with a terse response like this would look explicitly unprofessional!

>Or as Jean Baudrillard has said:

It is nothing short of profoundly ironic to quote Jean Baudrillard in this context.

That is a version anglicisée meme. I prefer the original:

« Le contexte réel s’effondre au moment même où l’on me cite. »

> Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness.

This has that slopccato feeling.

The what?

Portmanteau of slop and staccato I think?

Ironically it feels like that site was itself written by AI.

I had a colleague that was typing such long answers (before AI era) to a simple question. It felt wrong, but sometimes I didn't even read what I heard him typing for half an hour. I was a new employee and he was responding to my questions, that's why I asked him sometimes. He was let go after 1 month. One of the problems was also productivity issue :)

At my company this behaviour is celebrated

If it wasn't essential, I'd tell them to talk to me like a human or else I'd just quit the conversation entirely. Boundaries and stuff.

I have done this a few times. If you can't be bothered to give me your attention when asking something from me, you won't get mine.

I understand that example, on the other hand, RTFM is as old as history and it can often be replaced by googling or asking LLMs.

Not saying that's the very specific case, but I regularly encounter in my daily life at work people delegating the kind of information seeking that can be done

No, this was in response to some questions about different approaches enterprises take to automated code quality review and complying with some arbitrary security standard out there. And this was a principal secops guy who thought the appropriate thing to do was to ask Copilot.

Being known as an RTFM type of person, I usually appreciate when a super nonspecific question is met with a link to the docs.

>And this was a principal secops guy who thought the appropriate thing to do was to ask Copilot.

Firing them on the spot and telling them: "Thanks for opening our eyes to the fact that asking you is just asking Copilot with a middleman" will send the right message to the rest...

Did you miss my "Not saying that's the very specific case"?

No, which is why I started my message with "No, ..."!

if you shame ppl for ai use you might get branded as ai non beliver and shown the door next layoff round ( which is just around the corner)

Thanks for your response-- it's really load-bearing.
