When I ask Copilot something, the response usually starts with “Great question!”, followed by emojis and encouraging words that gently pet my fragile ego. Pretty much anything seems to pass for a “good question”, so if my questions are able to surpass that exceedingly low standard, I no longer feel very confident about their quality.

Am I the only one feeling this way? Anyone else noticing how excessive encouragement can have the opposite effect?

    LOL. Yeah, this feels much more natural. Even though people can nowadays direct their stupid question to an LLM, forum type conversations still have their place.

      Probably because it is more natural ;)
