Personally, I don't mind the "I asked AI and it said..." Because I can choose to ignore anything that follows.

Yes, I can judge the sender. But consent is still in my hands.

Otherwise, I largely agree with the article on its points, and also appreciate it raising the overall topic of etiquette given a new technology.

Like the shift to smart phones, this changes the social landscape.

I really dont like "I asked AI and it said X" but then I realise that many people including myself will search google and then relay random shit that seems useful and I dont see how AI is much different. Maybe both are bad, I dont do either anymore. But I guess both are just a person trying to be helpful and at the end of the day thats a good thing.

And now googling will just result in "I asked AI and it said X", as the first thing you get is the AI summary shit. A friend of mine does this constantly, we are in a discord call and somebody asks a question, he will google it and repeat the AI slop back as a fact.

Half the time it's wrong.
