I’m pretty sure the amount of care for fellow coworkers is normally distributed… so it makes sense the way below average just do that.

Heck the bottom decile would probably directly tell folks to pound sand if they could get away with it.

But "Go away I'm a curmudgeon" is an honest signal. Honest signals are required for a trust-based workplace. Whether you want a person to be a curmudgeon at work aside, knowing what they really are like and what they will do when you need something is foundational for trust.

AI washes that away. Everyone replies with AI voice, so nobody replies with honest signals, not the good / helpful folks or the curmudgeon unhelpful ones.

I don't know much about curmudgeon, but perhaps there are a group of those in HN that usually downvote just to perform their curmudgeon role. By HN rules they are invisible and can not be detected.

Well you should probably find a workplace that doesnt punish the “curmudgeons” for directly saying that.

I doubt that will become a widespread norm within this century at least.

The people are answering with copy-paste AI are the curmudgeons trying not to get fired for being “hard to work with”

The workplace of the future is just fake nice and pretty people parroting whatever their google babelfish tells them to

		EVery company that comes up with a product that brings a lot of gravy turns into place where people like this flourish. They have always been there - they would ask your question to many people, get their anwers and pass the response as their own. Nowadays their job is much easier, just two copy pastes and lunch break.
