I just don't use AI at all for this. I only use it for formatting my code, auditing my code, and research (that I verify). I would never use it for communication.

The website is to send to a friend or colleague who responds to you with AI. Similar to nohello.net
I use it for skincare advice and it’s shockingly going very well because I know enough about skincare to correct it and it can put some stuff together that I didn’t think of. My husband is just like you, for code and research that he verifies.
Our neighbor tried to text us some confrontational shit about why he didn’t owe us $900 for a fence he agreed to and it was so, so bad. It was 4 paragraphs of just AI cringe. Embarrassing as hell.

You can use AI. Seriously! It's a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don't be a middleman between it and the answer.
This website is AI entryism
"Cover up your plagiarism by altering some words here and there so that people won't immediately pick up on how pathetic and pretentious you are."
AI bros don't have any filters.
Modern "let me google that for you"
I've found some people just pasting AI answer in an discussion we were having in a forum.
I straight up said, "if I wanted to talk with chatgpt I know the website". And stopped the conversation right there.
I don't even know what was the point of that.
It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they'd have it in a couple of seconds. They asked you because they wanted your take... Your context, your taste, your judgment.
But how many times do “we” (i.e.: IT, tech support for family) end up having to search for answers for people they don’t look it up themselves? I’m not saying to always spit back AI answers, but to say to not do that because people have the same tools… not a great argument.
Incompetent or ignorant person will post the output and hope it confirms their beliefs without them even understanding it.
It sounds smart so it must support my side
I don't love getting pasted AI, but those motherfuckers that paste it and don't even read it are the absolute worst.
steve: I need you to help me because jen is having problems with this AWS policy being wrong it's not linked to that account and the closest thing I can find it this account over here but that doesn't look right, just let me know if you want me to make changes to that policy.
It's just some fucking disconnected stub of a policy from 10 years ago when we changed direction real quick, those accounts don't even exist.
me: jen, what's wrong? jen: I logged out and I can't get back in, the links are missing.
me: here, use this URL. jen, thanks! i'm in!
If you're going to use AI, ok whatever, just make sure it's fucking right!
