But the point OP is making is that it's entirely possible that the person doing this _does_ see it as them being as helpful as possible. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck, or that it isn't annoying, though. I dunno, just seems like a coin toss to me: was this backed by good intentions or not? Without other "evidence", assuming that it was well-meaning but misguided feels better for _both_ of us (at least in my experience).

Having good intentions doesn't give a free pass to be obnoxious.

  Sure but that goes both ways in a conversation.

    >Having good intentions doesn't give a free pass to be obnoxious. >Sure but that goes both ways in a conversation. In the situation being discussed, is it even a conversation if one party is not even actively engaging with the other person? Also, respect is earned not given. If you don't respect me enough to put time into communicating in your own words, you can punch sand because I'm not reading your AI slop.

Good intentions don’t excuse bad behavior, and shouldn’t oblige one to silently accept it.

  No, but they obligate you to be kind in your response despite your annoyance. The other person was trying to help, but failed. Keep that in mind if you feel the need to correct them.

  This is the sort of thing that only someone on the spectrum would consider doing in a professional setting, and they will end up getting coached by HR.

I had a colleague I really enjoyed talking to. Until all the AI hype and them getting into that bandwagon. Now whenever I ask something I get a huge markdown response with unaligned ascii table or being told to ask <llm name here> instead (with much enthusiasm). I am sure they are not doing it with bad intentions or ignoring me. That said I still can’t help but find it cold though. I would rather prefer if they just ghosted my messages
