> I worked as a developer at a company. I asked the business owner a question about a business task. He sent me a ChatGPT screenshot with the answer.

Something similar to this happened in a "public" chat space at my company, and, despite the fact that we are leaning into LLMs and agentic workflows quite a bit, the responses were generally "I aint reading all that" and "hey, dude, thats kinda unprofessional."

We should be shaming people who attempt to outsource all of their thinking to chatbots or agents. I think it would be effective.

>Or as Jean Baudrillard has said:

It is nothing short of profoundly ironic to quote Jean Baudrillard in this context.

I agree with the messaging generally, but unfortunately to fight implicitly unprofessional behavior with a terse response like this would look explicitly unprofessional!

At my company this behaviour is celebrated

If it wasn't essential, I'd tell them to talk to me like a human or else I'd just quit the conversation entirely. Boundaries and stuff.

I have done this a few times. If you can't be bothered to give me your attention when asking something from me, you won't get mine.

I understand that example, on the other hand, RTFM is as old as history and it can often be replaced by googling or asking LLMs.

Not saying that's the very specific case, but I regularly encounter in my daily life at work people delegating the kind of information seeking that can be done independently.

No, this was in response to some questions about different approaches enterprises take to automated code quality review and complying with some arbitrary security standard out there. And this was a principal secops guy who thought the appropriate thing to do was to ask Copilot.

Being known as an RTFM type of person, I usually appreciate when a super nonspecific question is met with a link to the docs.

Firing them on the spot and telling them: "Thanks for opening our eyes to the fact that asking you is just asking Copilot with a middleman" will send the right message to the rest...

Did you miss my "Not saying that's the very specific case"?
