I’m just wondering how those people don’t understand they are strongly signaling their job can be fully done by an LLM.
replyThis used to horrify me, until I started noticing the type of person that mindlessly spits crap out for me to deal with are the exact type of people I had already identified as being at most neutral or dead weight anyway. Sounds harsh but if your first reaction to solving a problem is to turn off your brain entirely and dump the thinking onto something/someone else for you, you're likely already layoff fodder, even pre AI. Maybe we'll all get there eventually, but for now, there's a clear distinction I see between types of people that use these tools, and one is very exhausting to deal with.
replyMy experience aligns with that. But there’s no guarantee that the criteria for layoffs, when they happen, will include these people.

replyLots of people aren't very thoughtful or wise, including some supposedly very intelligent people.
For further proof: think of all the workers proudly parroting their bosses' anti-union rhetoric, like they're temporarily embarrassed billionaires.
I personally feel using AI to reply personal chats is extremely bogus. Worse is those that do not even bother to remove the AI watermark. Like, pasting directly from the AI without removing the AI's personal thoughts.
replyBut why would ask these people about topics they don't understand? Or they sending you unsolicited responses?
replyNot the person you’re replying to, but, because I don’t know what they know.
reply“I don’t really know much about that, go ask _____” is the desired response in that situation
Maybe it’s part of the things required by their job description to understand.
replyMaybe they are hoping for a tiny bit of research / looking into things
