Do this instead You can use AI. Seriously! It's a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don't be a middleman between it and the answer.

You're still acting as the middle man for the answer. You didn't answer fucking shit. If you, the human being, have nothing to add yourself, stay the fuck out of the conversation. Especially if the questions being posed are asking about other people's personal experiences in something.

Yes this site is close to being good imo, but just falls short and misses the mark. Even if someone tells me verbally, "I asked AI and it said..." I mentally check out and disregard all they say lol

The other day I was out with two of my friends.

My one friend thought their car had a small issue. Me and my other friend are more knowledgeable about cars. We were like, "oh don't worry about that, that's normal." First friend kept fretting until they looked it up on AI and AI said... the same thing that us, the two people standing next to them had said. They were so skeptical after what we said, and so relieved when AI said it was fine. I was so annoyed lmao.

Yes, and that paragraph completely contradicts an earlier one.

It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they'd have it in a couple of seconds.

They're not asking you because they want you to "polish the text" from AI. They could also do that themselves.
