This is the first time I hear the term weaponizing in the way you describe it. I would have said "AI obliterated the chore of finding the right answer from SO" or something similar. To me, weaponizing means, using against a person or entity.

But regardless, thanks for explaining.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
