I asked a trusted colleague for comments on a written document and they fed it in to chatGPT and sent me back that output and I just want to cry.

Guess I won't be asking that person for help or advice on anything anymore. Enshittification happens in people's writing skills too, I guess.
I also have absolutely no idea how to respond to them. If you're that far down the genAI black hole I don't think pointing out the ethical/environmental/cognitive issues will help. Fuck.
@sundogplanets Perhaps send them a mushroom quiche, picked and prepared following a slopbot recipe, by way of thanks?

"I sent it to you because I wanted _your_ comments and advice on this. If you don't have the time to read it, please just say so. Being foisted off onto a reply generator like that is just hurtful."
@skjeggtroll @sundogplanets 'hurtful' just gets dismissed, I'd be honest and replace 'hurtful' with 'stupid' because at least that has a chance of festering in their brain a little.

@sundogplanets it's like trying to convince a sports fan to cheer for their opposing team. Not a rational discussion.
I'd probably take the approach of, "Thanks for the feedback, but I wasn't looking for something I could do (ask an LLM, email a different person, etc.). I was asking you. I was looking for the weight of your specific knowledge. Your specific experience. If you don't have time to offer that, just tell me you don't have time."
