This is the first time I hear the term weaponizing in the way you describe it. I would have said "AI obliterated the chore of finding the right answer from SO" or something similar. To me, weaponizing means, using against a person or entity.
But regardless, thanks for explaining.
What do you mean by weaponizing?

I can't disagree with that. Which makes it worse - tampering with evidence.
"Afraid"? They're not afraid.
Who would downvote you?
I miss mine.
I remember when he said "We must stop listening to the experts and start listening to common sense." I rolled my eyes at that one.
