This is a good post.

Thinking about it some more, I don't necessarily mind if someone said "I googled it and..." then provides some self generated summary of what they found which is relevant to the discussion.

I wouldn't mind if someone did the same with an LLM response. But just like I don't want to read a copy and paste of chatgpt results I don't want to read someone copy/pasting search results with no human analysis.

I have a few colleagues that are very skilled and likeable people, but have horrible digital etiquette (40-50 year olds).

Expecting people to read regurgitated gpt-summaries are the most obvious.

But another one that bugs me just as much, are sharing links with no annotation. Could be a small article or a long ass report or white paper with 140 pages. Like, you expect me to bother read it, but you can't bother to say what's relevant about it?

I genuinely think it's well intentioned for the most part. They're just clueless about what makes for good digital etiquette.
