Is there a term for people who just forward AI output without thinking?
Lately I get emails from people I know well, and they suddenly don’t sound like themselves. Different tone, different wording, and often factually wrong.
You can tell what happened: they asked AI to write something, didn’t verify it, copy / paste, and just hit send.
This isn’t “using AI as a tool”. It’s skipping thinking altogether. No ownership, no fact-checking, no accountability.
I use ChatGPT too, but there’s a difference between helping you express your own thoughts and letting a machine speak for you.
Is there already a good term for this, or are we still pretending this is normal?
