Is this the zoomer syndrome I am hearing about lately? My friend says zoomer coworkers increasingly start asking easily searchable questions, and also (this part is not your comment, just my 2c) in a demanding tone like you owe them money. Allegedly they spend all their time in LLMs and lose the ability to gather information

I wonder what humanity will look like in 20 years if this doesn't stop.

Look, he doesn't know what to search for. He doesn't have your experience to know what is crap and what is good info, and the big models will ninny-nanny him for '''safety reasons.''' There is so much more shit to wade through today than a decade ago. Cut the kid some slack and be a mentor! Gatekeeping kills.

I have encountered this behavior in people of all ages for as long as I can remember.

Sounds easily searchable...
