A movement asking people not to copy and paste AI responses: 'Don't paste the AI, please.'



AIs like ChatGPT, by their very nature, cannot verify the accuracy or truthfulness of the text they output. Even if it appears that they can, this is not actually the case, and ultimately, a human must verify its accuracy. However, some people, unaware of this mechanism, simply copy and paste text generated by AI, creating an unnecessary burden for those who receive such text, who must first verify whether the text is correct or not. A movement is underway to stop this 'direct copy-pasting of AI text.'

Please do not paste the AI.

'Don't paste the AI, please.' briefly explains 'why copying and pasting AI responses is not allowed.'

'When someone asks you a question, they are looking for your answer, not the output of ChatGPT. A human-worded answer is superior to a lengthy response produced by AI. Someone asks you a question, you input it into the AI, and then copy and paste the answer back. It might feel quick and helpful, but it's not. The other person has access to the same AI as you. If they just wanted general information, they could get the answer in just a few seconds. The reason they asked you the question was because they wanted to know your perspective, your viewpoint, and your judgment.'



This website claims that it is 'not anti-AI at all, but simply wants people to think about how to use AI,' and recommends the following uses:
- Read the content generated by AI and write your own opinion.
- Even if you use it as is, extract only the essential parts that answer the question asked.
If the AI's answer was truly useful, quote it and explain why.
If you truly have nothing to say, then say so.

The post concludes with, 'If someone sends you a long AI-generated message in your DMs, Slack, or code reviews, you can send them this link back.'

This website has a Japanese version, as well as an 'angry version' written in a stronger tone.

Please do not copy and paste what the AI wrote.

In connection with this movement, comments on the social site Hacker News included: 'Copying and pasting Claude's answers into Slack or email not only shifts the burden of understanding and grasping onto everyone, but also risks you skipping that step yourself. Even if you use Claude to organize your

thoughts or prepare answers, you need to write them in your own words, yourself. Doing so will give you a deeper understanding of the situation,' and 'This time it's about lazy answers, but lazy questions are often a problem too. When you ask someone to do something, it's not good to expect them to drop everything and do it for you. The fundamental problem is that communication is difficult, especially when it's not face-to-face.'

Also, the expression 'AI;DR,' which succinctly expresses the opinion 'I didn't read it because it's an AI,' has been devised and is suddenly becoming a hot topic. This is a play on the already existing expression 'TL;DR (too long to read).'
