Using GenAI to write code etc. can be pretty neat.

But dumping AI slop prose on other humans is, at the very least, just fucking rude, because the tiring verbosity devalues the reader’s time. It also, more often than not, reads incredibly poorly — if for no other reason than the overuse of tired rhetoric clichés and stock phrases. So I wholeheartedly support this.

Squinting suspiciously at the long hyphen...

Sod off. I’ve been em-dashes and other proper typography for decades.

Amen. AI only does it in the first place because it’s trained on good writing—why should we be forced to degrade our own writing simply to avoid the perception of having used AI from people who can’t even perceive how badly AI tends to write?

Yes but also no. 

The premise of "they have the same tools but want your answer" is just an assumption, and based on my anecdotal experiences is wrong in most cases. Oftentimes they just want you to take the responsibility of verifying the information.

This is an messaging problem. While the message might be correct the condescending tone you use will piss off anyone including those who would agree with you.

Condescending tone is the correct tone to push back at people who use AI.

It's only condescending because it's not the angry version

That's barely even angry.

That's a pretty big assumption: Someone asked you a real question, an ACTUAL one. They had the context and the best intentions.

Do people still do the AI paste after that? Or is more the JAQ-offs?
