    I mean I don’t care if they use it like a search engine to remind themselves about the topic if they had some knowledge on it before they looked it up and if they put some cognitive power to go over the answer and absorb it and respond in their own words. But yeah a cut and paste or if they know nothing about it and parrot off what the llm tells them. Thats annoying.

      while it doesn’t affect me directly if people use it “like a search engine”, it still empowers the tech bro billionaires who are the worst of the worst of scum of mankind, and it fucks up democracy, environment and hardware prices. So I’d rather everyone just boycotted this BS.

          Not in the same way. People are more cautious (on average) with what info they give away there, plus pre-LLM search engines were unable to contextualize a user’s search history. Now though - yes people should boycott the big engines. Becomes easier, too, with AI slop rendering them near useless.
