My entire professional life I have dealt with people who refuse to do basic research. They won't diagnose, they won't investigate, they won't RTFM. Instead, they'll ask me questions as the very first step.
Just like I would forward them information like "the docs say...", I'm going to start by forwarding information like "Claude says..." so as to not waste my own time until they give me a specific reason they're asking me. Odds are they're actually just being lazy / intellectually incurious and haven't even Googled it or asked Claude.
Now if someone sends me a well thought out question with what specifically they're having trouble with, I'm more than happy to actually dig in. But odds are, questions like that will include research and auditing, which I'm going to do with Claude. I'll double-check its work, but I still want to explain what information is coming from me and what information is coming from it. They can use that to evaluate the level of trust they have in that information, instead of me making the decision for them.
I am empathetic to the author's point, though. It's frustrating to get a taste of my own medicine on this, but I often take that as a sign that I'm doing the thing I hate and should have asked a better question. If I reflect and still believe otherwise, I message them politely about it. And if it repeatedly happens, I escalate to our manager - like I did before Claude existed.
