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.

It sounds smart so it must support my side
Modern "let me google that for you"
Prompt laundering, the act of reading a prompt output and retyping an approximation in your own words.
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.
I use it for communication because I am able to find better sentence structure and words with it and find best options suitable and more in line with what I want to convey.
Do this instead 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.
You're still acting as the middle man for the answer. You didn't answer fucking shit. If you, the human being, have nothing to add yourself, stay the fuck out of the conversation. Especially if the questions being posed are asking about other people's personal experiences in something.
Yes, and that paragraph completely contradicts an earlier one.
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're not asking you because they want you to "polish the text" from AI. They could also do that themselves.
Yes this site is close to being good imo, but just falls short and misses the mark. Even if someone tells me verbally, "I asked AI and it said..." I mentally check out and disregard all they say lol
The other day I was out with two of my friends.
My one friend thought their car had a small issue. Me and my other friend are more knowledgeable about cars. We were like, "oh don't worry about that, that's normal." First friend kept fretting until they looked it up on AI and AI said... the same thing that us, the two people standing next to them had said. They were so skeptical after what we said, and so relieved when AI said it was fine. I was so annoyed lmao.
It honestly feels very disrespectful of my time when someone sends me an AI slop response or email.
Don't be that person.
Unrelated, by I also think it's disrespectful of my time when somebody sends me a voice note on a messaging app
I would be stricken with grief if my reputation ever took a hit like that. I would resign and become a nomadic goat farmer. Or a bin man. Any job with heaps of shit, which is apparently my true calling.
I never have this problem of people giving me AI responses to my questions.
What I do have a problem with is people who do this:
Just don't reply. Been doing it for years in both personal and work contexts.

Ironically this page seems to be entirely made of slop, the whole text reeks of claudisms, as opposed to https://noslopgrenade.com/

Personally "I checked with Claude" invalidates anything you just said, even if it was properly researched and legitimately correct. As soon as you invoke the slopbots I lose any regard for your answer.
This is the reason why you simply don't tell anyone that you have used AI... it's the same if you researched Wikipedia or your grandpas 1950s copy of Encyclopedia Britannica: It simply doesn't matter where you got your information from as long as it is valid
