"This is what AI said" needs to stop

Stop forwarding raw AI output

It’s great to use an LLM to try and help solve a problem, that’s what they’re for. But it’s your responsibility to read that response and relay the pertinent information.

Reading raw AI output is so frustrating because it violates that compact. It feels rude when someone sends you something they have spent no time on, that it will take you longer to read than it took them to write.


Stop Sloppypasta

Here is an even stronger, more thorough take on this topic; complete with many examples, classifications, and further explanation. I particularly like guideline #6 - Share as a link.

slop·py·pas·ta n. Verbatim LLM output copy-pasted at someone, unread, unrefined, and unrequested. From slop (low-quality AI-generated content) + copypasta (text copied and pasted, often as a meme, without critical thought). It is considered rude because it asks the recipient to do work the sender did not bother to do themselves.
