A lot of the reason why I even ask other people is not to get a simple technical answer but to connect, understand another person's unexepected thoughts, and maybe forge a collaboration –– in addition to getting an answer of course. Real people come up with so many side paths and thoughts, whereas AI feels lifeless and drab.

To me, someone pasting in an AI answer says: I don't care about any of that. Yeah, not a person I want to interact with.

It’s the conversational equivalent of “Let me google that for you”.

It's the conversational equivalent of an amplification attack

I remember reading about someone using AI to turn a simple summary like "task XYZ completed with updates ABC" into a few paragraphs of email. The recipient then fed the reply into their AI to summarize it back into the original points. Truly, a compression/expansion machine.
