How many people upvoting this used to use lmgfy links when some asks a question?

In case of lmgtfy the receiver was usually the lazy person. The question was usually so simple that simple that asking it for nth time on public forum was the waste of everyone's time. In case of pasting LLM response verbatim the responder is usually the one wasting everyone's time.

LLMs are ascendant partially because they do not "RTFM", "read the FAQ", or "question closed as duplicate" at you regardless of how many times they've heard a question before.

Yep. That said I hesitate to paste AI verbatim. Instead I tell the AI to give me a good source for the information, make sure it's trustworthy, skim it myself then paste that. Like how everyone used Wikipedia when schools didn't allow it as a source.

Perhaps unpopular opinion but I wouldnt hold it against someone for giving an AI response to such inquiries. Dont waste people's time needlessly goes both ways.
