Sometimes people ask questions on HN off handedly while making some kind of argument where the questions can easily be answered by plugging them into a Google search box. And then I wonder why didn’t they just do that? Usually they don’t do it because it causes whatever argument they are making to implode quickly. I’m guessing they aren’t anti AI they just don’t want to know. It’s not even a “do you trust the AI or not” since the AI is just able to quickly find and present basic data. The fact that their question can be answered quickly and easily is what they find offensive.

At work I’ll use AI to answer colleague questions and then wonder why they just didn’t use it instead. It’s usually just a training issue, the answers are usually right enough to unblock them at least.
