First time working with someone who habitually uses LLMs. After respectfully requesting to not get pasted pages of output in chat conversation, they started copy-pasting selected passages in response to the things I hand-write. I notice increasingly that the human is just copy-pasting LLM output back and forth instead of thinking for themselves and maybe noticing that half the time the content is obvious and the other half irrelevant. Making progress this way is like walking through molasses.
@janl This is genuinely the worst thing I keep repeatedly encountering, but I keep wondering - surely neither one of us can be happy in this arrangement? Like I'd rather the LLM interface just go and do whatever non-work hobbies they have and let me do whatever I need to in peace than waste my time with a conversation that I'll still need to supplant with personal research into whatever topic/work history they were supposed to inform me on.
