It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they’d have it in a couple of seconds. They asked you because they wanted your take… Your context, your taste, your judgment.

But how many times do “we” (i.e.: IT, tech support for family) end up having to search for answers for people they don’t look it up themselves? I’m not saying to always spit back AI answers, but to say to not do that because people have the same tools… not a great argument.
