I'd like to preface this by saying that I'm generally not agsinst AI use. I know people use AI tools extensively for both work and as a tool in their general interaction with the world, but in my mind just straight up answering a question with "Gemini/ChatGPT said..." is quite weird for a number of reasons, and I don't like how normalised it's becoming.

For one, I could totally have done that myself if I'd wanted to. I'm asking for your opinion, not information I can just look up. And even if it were information that one could just look up, it's been well publicised how much AI just makes shit up if it can't find something.

I know a case could be made that they're at least being honest about it, but if it were me I'd honestly be quite embarassed to admit how much I'm outsourcing my thought process. People being so open about it is a bit uncomfortable.

When I lived with my parents, it'd really annoy my stepfather if I didn't fill the kettle right back up to the top after making myself a cup of tea. I always thought this was a bit of a waste of electricity.

There were four of us, so sometimes we'd all have a hot drink at the same time, but we'd also just make induvidual drinks throughout the day.

Are you a "kettle full" or "fill as needed" sort of household?
