You asked a coworker a question and got a wall of pasted AI back. Don't read all of it. Ask for their call.
Why
You asked them because you wanted their judgement. As Rick Manelius put it in his post AI;DR: "if you’re my colleague and we’re in a Slack discussion and you post a wall of Claude output, then I’m afraid I received a different message than you intended."
The reply
Keep it kind. They may be new, or busy, or trying to help.
Thanks. What's your call, in one line, and what would change your mind?
You get their answer and the one thing that would flip it. That's what you asked for.
Need the wall too? The 2-line summary prompt
Paste the wall into your own AI (a work-approved one if your company has one, since it's a coworker's message) and send:
Summarise in 2 lines. What does it recommend and why?
You get the recommendation and the reason in 2 lines, and you can decide whether to read the rest.
The mistake to avoid
Fighting it in the thread. If it keeps happening, raise it as a team rule ("answer in your own words first, link the AI output if it helps"), not as a reply that singles someone out.
