To me it's like sending the "let me google that for you" link to answer a question. It's just bad form. I don't want your whole reasoning trace man, i just want to know what you understand of it and maybe you'll catch some detail i'm missing or whatever. It's simple, i won't read LLM output, my colleagues know it and i get shit for it but no i am not digesting this material for you. Give me a 3 bullet-point version in your own words, the point is not just in the data exchange it's also to make sure you are aware of the answer and we have a common truth.
Or failing that, just give me the fucking prompt and at least i'll know if you understand the question.
This one's really nice. I should make this my go to response to anyone doing that.
I'd love to take the credit but i actually stole it from that link that made the rounds on Hacker News
