You can’t make the point that way without invalidating other ppls lived experiences – anything that people find value in doing has value for those people. Some people find value in ai output. Not me, but I know enough to know that my experience doesn’t speak for all. Yeah, obviously, they’re incredibly wasteful and it’s worth challenging them, but asking if you know how much time is spent on a query is a bit bollocks, it’s enough to know that.
