It is about respecting everyone's time...
Example, if an executive were to claim: "We don't have any solution to X in the company" in an email as a justification for investment in a vendor, it might cost other people hours as they dig into it. However, if AI fact-checked it first by searching code repos, wikis and tickets, found it wasn't true, then maybe that email wouldn't have been sent at all or would have acknowledged the existing product and led to a more crisp discussion.
AI responses often only need a quick sniff by a human (eg. click the provided link to confirm)... whereas BS can derail your day.
We should share our knowledge and intelligence with AIs and people alike, and not ignorance. Use the tools at our disposal to avoid wasting others' valuable time, and encourage others to do the same.
