LLM text walls are the new pasting a google or wikipedia result link, just more annoying

In the old days, when somebody asked a stupid question on a chat/forum that was just a search away, you would link them to "let me google it for you" (site seems down, but there is now a "let me google that for you"), where it'd take the search query in the URL and display an animation of typing the search in the box and clicking the "search" button.

Every time somebody pastes an LLM response at work, it feels exactly like that. As if I were too fucking stupid to look something up and the thought hadn't even occurred to me, when the whole fucking point of me talking to you is that I wanted a personal response and your opinion to begin with.
