Stop externalizing the cost of your AI use to me

if the value is in the prompt, give me that prompt – I have access to a model too.

Absolutely. I don't want to waste my time reading pages of (literally) mindless slop.

If you can't be bothered writing well, just write points. Don't use "AI" to expand your points into slop. I might read your points, and will judge you on your lack of time and/or care. But I will despise your slop.

On the other hand I'm not sure someone else's prompt is even worth my time. It's a half-baked thought they didn't feel like putting their own effort into developing. It's like reading a tweet.
