Give me a thorough explanation of the virtues of copy pasting.
ChatGPT:
Copy-pasting is one of those everyday actions that seems trivial until you imagine working without it.

Used thoughtfully, it has a surprising number of virtues.
- It saves time
The most obvious advantage is speed. Recreating text, code, numbers, or formatting manually is often unnecessary work. Copy-pasting lets people focus on higher-value tasks instead of repetitive typing.
For example:- Reusing an email signature.

I read the joke as “people who use genAI copy-paste responses, instead of thinking themselves”.
I don’t think it was meant as a general statement about copy pasting, but I could be wrong.
