Totally agree. When someone sends me some AI slop about a topic I have knowledge about -- which I've had this happen to me recently during a debug session -- and asks me to read it, I think to myself "this person does not respect me, otherwise they wouldn't be telling me to read stuff that may or may not be accurate that they themselves never read." It's like a new, worse version of "let me google that for you" but without the sarcasm, and without the results actually being helpful.

I know that feeling. I experienced it more than one time in areas of law I consider myself a little bit more knowledgeable than the average person. It's just a slap to the face to try to discuss a topic that you know a little bit about with an AI.

The thing is: I am 100 % sure those people use LLM answer not out of disrespect but because they honestly believe that an LLM produces a better argument than they possibly could themselves.
