No it isn't an improvement. If I wanted the output of an LLM instead of a thinking, smart, real human, I would have simply asked an LLM. Nearly nobody who asks humans questions WANTS to get an LLM answer, that's simply not why people ask other people.

I agree with your sentiment from the perspective of the asker.

But if I'm the askee, I honestly don't know how to navigate those waters yet.

If someone asks me for help and I can find, through AI, a thread to explore, but I don't have time to explore it myself, should I not share?

Do I say "Have you tried X?", where X is the thing the LLM suggested? Should I pretend that I did not ask the LLM?

In the past, I could find some source and send them the link, and I wouldn't assume the person had exhausted the entire Google index. Sending a link isn't the same as LMGTFY.

Analogously, while "Claude says X" does sound as rude as lmgtfy, disclosing that your suggestion was found via llm is more akin to linking to a source, or "take this with a grain of salt".

I think as long as nobody can tell you've used an LLM, it's fine. If you use an LLM to get your info and then respond, that's normal. Copy pasting or going "claude said" and then more or less just regurgitating is different, because you are no longer involved.

If I ask you, I want your thoughts, based on whatever you can find or know. It's difficult to articulate for me, honestly, but I hope it makes sense.

Correct. you should not share. maybe say "I don't know. Have you tried asking claude?"

Golden rule. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.
