Well, people are people. It might be unpleasant and rude to systemically browse people, especially if you need to interrupt and clarify your prompts, basically treating them like chatbots.

The way I see it, you should differiante how you approach human and inhuman sources. Information from people have a lot of advantages, too. You might get your target information quickly without any "bloat" from e.g. an encyclopedia article. However you might lose a lot of key information. A person forces you into an interactive bi-directional conversation. They will get information from you and more likely add additional information you need.

For example you might get the commonly accepted translation of an ancient poem from an article. A human can give you that, too, but if they notice that you are absolutely not familiar with the subject, they might also clarify that a literal translation is not possible, that you need the context of this historical event and so on. In a inhuman source you might have skipped that information. This is how some people may use a trusted source, but still leave with fake news, because the extracted information is incomplete.
