      I’m not usually into stereotyping based on generations, but why is it specifically the Gen Xers who insist on talking to these LLMs all the time?

          Most people around me use LLM’s for their work, which is still anecdotal that’s for sure and I’m not denying it. My point I guess is that the genX’ers stand out way more, because they are more often in positions of authority, and you’d expect them to know better. That to me makes it way more remarkable that a professor would verbatim cite LLM output to one of their PhD students, wasting that student’s time having them debunk that obvious crap.

            That makes sense, but as your generation hits their fifties and you hear the next generation saying that they expect you guys to know better, being in positions of authority, you’ll look around at the people in positions of authority and have a good chuckle at that.

            At least, that’s been my experience. It’s as if everyone decided to fake it til they made it but instead they realized it doesn’t actually work that way and now they’re terrified that someone will ask them to make an actual decision.
