Counter point - the internet is full of people who will hit you with an opinion or criticism qualified by zero effort, evidence, or critical thinking, to the point you aren’t even sure if they’re a person or just a bot that throws out dumb “psychic reading” quality nonsense.
I think an appropriate response to this is to demonstrate that you’re allowing AI to answer their question, rather than involve your own cognitive time. It’s basically the same thing as letting your phone answer a suspicious call with a generic “please state your name and why you’re calling”. It doesn’t just save you time, it very deliberately declares a boundary that says “you can waste your time on this bot, but you’re not getting my time”.
Like I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember “let me google that for you”, but it’s basically that.
