Honest question, genuinely curious, I'm not picking on you; what's the point of pasting a ChatGPT response to a question? I've seen colleagues do this on internal mailing lists, even some of my friends do this on our group chats.

I really don't get it. If I wanted the opinion of a language model, I'd ask a language model (and I do semi-frequently for certain questions). Getting ChatGPT output from an human rubs me the wrong way, like getting a LMGTFY link.

But I assume both in your case and my friend's that the intent isn't to be passive aggressive. Help me understand?
