Don't paste the AI, please.
Don't paste the AI, please is a one-page site in the tradition of nohello.net and dontasktoask.com, made to be sent to anyone who answered your honest question by pasting back what a chatbot said. Its argument is short: the person asking has the same tools you do, so if they had wanted the generic answer they would already have it. They asked you for your context, your taste and your judgement. Use the AI to draft if you like, then read what it said, keep the part that answers the question and write three sentences of your own; if part of the model's answer is genuinely useful, quote it and say why; and if you have nothing to add, say so. There is a version for teachers handed AI-written coursework and, for anyone ready to burn a bridge, a rougher one that opens with a pitch-perfect parody of the reply you were sent. A pasted answer tells the person who asked that you would rather forward their question than think about it.
