Worst case you just ignore it. Best case there is something useful in it. Shrug.

There's a very deep irony in this page being a bunch of pasted LLM output.

Almost certainly written by AI

... the page never argues that AI is bad or not useful broadly. Not sure if this getting commented again and again is because people are just that bad at understanding that context matters. Not everything has to be evil / slop or pure / virtuous, regardless of context.

no, but it does argue specifically against presenting people with large amounts of ai written text without reading it or checking that it makes sense.

It also ends with "written by a human, on purpose"

This site feels like AI slop, and it’s also not something I’d be able to send without feeling like asshole.

I found this blog post to be much better at getting the point across: https://tombedor.dev/human-attention-and-human-effort/

Pasting a blurb of AI is sometimes a form of "Let Me Google That For You" LMGTFY. If someone asks me a dumb question, I will often resort to giving them an AI answer, that they could have easily looked up themselves.

It literally takes you more effort to get an LLM answer, and if it doesn't, it's not really a dumb question, is it?

Yes - lazy AI answers from generic AI are lazy. Don’t do that please.

But this leading statement is not necessarily true:

“The person on the other side has the same tools you do”

Aren’t we all imbuing our AI with our own thought patterns? Folks I speak to spent a tremendous amount of time building tooling and (hierarchical) context around LLMs such that the output it produces is definitely not the same as what the stock model produces.

No. Don't ask a question that AI can answer.

Ignore them and move on with your life.
