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.

> 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?

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

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

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