1. Asking a question which could be answered by an AI
2. Pasting an AI response to something
If 1 is fair game, I'd say 2 is too.
I don't think this is something we should be encouraging people to do if they don't know they answer to something. I recently had someone post quite confidently in Slack "I found the problem after some GPT research", followed by an absolute nonsense solution that would have cost us significant time and money if they tried to implement it.
If you don't have an understanding of the domain you're asking questions in, it can be dangerous to ask the plausible sounding answer generation machine.
Telling people they shouldn't even ask questions that can theoretically be Googled/AI'd with enough time or blind trust is hideous in the extreme, and absolutely antithetical to the ideas of humanity and intellectual curiosity. I would like to never hear such a suggestion come out of anybody's mouth, particularly on HN.
When you don't know the answer to something you should try to figure it out before asking. That builds important skills. Like it or not LLMs are now a useful tool for that. The first instinct shouldn't be to ask someone else if you haven't expended any effort.
For example, if you don't know 6*27 I'd consider it rude to ask if you have a calculator on your desk but you're too lazy to use it.
