I do it, on purpose: it teaches people to do basic research by themselves, and not hit me with questions they could have gotten with a simple chat with their llm.
It's a kind of RTFM for current days.
I can imagine it makes things easier for you but I find it hard to imagine it teaches anyone anything. Just offloading social effort to an LLM (fair enough but let’s call a spade a spade)
I don't mean to paint myself as the smart one for doing that. It's a coping mechanism.
But I disagree: it teaches... something. The risk is that it's not what I thought it would be, eventually.
That isn't the takeaway. The takeaway is that when someone asks for your input you give them Claude's. Why do we have you?
Unless they're a professional stack exchange responder (not a real job afaik) they probably do a lot besides answer random questions
That isn’t the topic of TFA.
Why would you do that instead of asking them if they checked Claude first?
