As someone who takes the time to answer questions they know, yes. It takes time and effort for a human to formulate and write a response.

If im going to invest suitable effort into an answer, you better damn well be willing to put suitable effort into the question. Anything else is an attack on my time.

    Isn’t there value in the discussion? If the question was worth responding to, I’d argue it’s a net benefit.

    I’m playing devil’s advocate. I’m not sure what I think.

    Perhaps there could be value in some kind of discussion, but I don't consider a human interacting with an LLM to be a "discussion" any more than a human interacting with a magic eight ball.
