I agree with the general sentiment. However, there are a lot of people asking obvious questions where they are just abusing your time and offloading work onto you.
Pasting AI output verbatim is the modern day equivalent of “let me google that for you.”
I used to feel that way until I realised some people I worked with were just actually quite terrible at Googling things. After that I realised that using a search engine is actually a skill I was taking for granted and one I was quite good at.
I did actually spend a few minutes searching for them and found multiple documents and forum posts - sent those over and they were super happy. A project that had been stalled for seemingly forever suddenly was done quickly.
Now that I pay for Kagi search I find myself doing this even more (especially since Google itself often doesn't return great results anymore) and I can quickly find good info way faster than most
