Sister was messing around with a UV light and noticed this on her phone screen under it. My phone does not have this (all I get is a grid of dots I'm pretty sure are to do with the touch screen).

For me it’s not “AI bad” it’s a matter of coming here to talk to other people and to read what other people are saying.
If I wanted to hear what ChatGPT or Claude thinks, I would go ask them.
I’m fine with “I checked with a LLM and it suggested screen adhesive.” I guess. Things describing one’s experience. But just dumping output… sigh.
I don't see the issue as long as they disclose the origin, which they did. It's not like they pasted the output and claimed it as their own.

We don't need no stinkin badgers!
Because it's just kind of lazy, everyone has access to LLMs now. If they wanted an AI answer they'd just use Google and click "expand" on whatever summary it sticks at the top of the search results.
People use social media to interact with other humans, and unless we explicitely ask, we don't want to read through a wall of AI text.
The point of this community is to identify things, not to have a chat. And given that a lot of people can't even use a regular search engine, I'd say not everyone has access to LLMs now either.
