Comment on Sending someone LLM output in response to a question they ask is the intellectual equivalent of sending an unsolicited dick pic.

They’re both garbage, sure, but I wouldn’t call it an equivalent. Especially in severity–one is insulting, the other is sexual harassment.

The key word is “unsolicited.” An LLM response to a question you ask is garbage, but it’s solicited garbage. Like asking someone in Home Depot where the hammers are, and having them take 10 minutes for them to look it up on their phone. It’s a stupid response, but it was solicited. It’s at least a lazy attempt to respond relevantly, however insulting.
