alt Hacker NewsDo you feel returning an answer that an AI gives is the same as searching it on Google (old fashion way) and just producing an answer from there?

Nowadays, the top Google result is probably LLM-generated blog-spam of lower-quality than whatever chatbot your company is paying for.
Back when most Google results were authentic web-pages, something like "here's a web page that I think solves your problem" was a fairly useful reply from a coworker.
What you're describing still requires that you look at sources and put a little bit of effort into understanding something.
AI answers may or may not be completely hallucinated, and often the people copy/pasting them didn't even read them.
