A coworker asked you a question. Send 3 sentences you've read, not the chatbot's whole answer.
They could have asked ChatGPT themselves. As dontpastetheai.com puts it, "They asked you because they wanted your take." (The site calls itself satire, but the point stands.)
What you need
The question, and a minute to think about what you'd actually do.
Any AI you like, to read up if you need to. Then you write the reply.
The template
Your answer. One line. The call you'd make.
Why. The one reason that matters for this team or this job.
What to watch. The one thing to do or check next.
Sample, invented: "CSV or XLSX for the CRM export?"
CSV. XLSX dates break on import. Save it as UTF-8.
Using AI without pasting it
Ask it to help you read, not to write the reply. Paste this, with the question and your notes:
A coworker asked me: [QUESTION]. Here's what I know: [NOTES]. Don't write my reply. List the 3 points that answer the question, shortest first, and tell me which one you're least sure about.
Then write your 3 sentences yourself. The site's own advice: "Just read what it gave to you, then write your own version, or polish the text."
The mistake to avoid
Pasting the whole answer. Headers and 9 bullets tell them you didn't read it either. "Three sentences is all it takes, and even if they're copied, at least you read them."
Nothing useful to add? Say so. "No strong opinion here" is an answer too.
