That's why I specifically try to avoid saying that, and instead say "important question". Almost always interchangeable, gets the point across, and you don't sound like a subservient AI.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 32 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

My strategy for overcoming this is to congratulate myself out loud so they know not to answer until I'm done.

Unless they stare at you like a freak and than silently go away

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

I'm so far beyond the point of caring how people look at me, and so far past the point of wanting to talk to anyone.

What you've just described would be considered total victory.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago

That's why, when I say "good question," I thoughtfully neglect to provide an answer.

But that's likely because I only say that when I don't know the answer.

[–] scytale@lemmy.zip 13 points 22 hours ago

You don’t hear the answer because I use “great question” to stall and deflect because I don’t know the answer.

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

That's alright, because people usually say that when they don't know the answer themselves.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

compliments are so rare, you should savour them as much as you can.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I really appreciate your username. Forgot my hrt this morning but I'm on track again

ye can't forget yer Tit-tacs

Everytime you follow-up with a question to chatgpt:

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

When it's a truly great question, there won't be an answer. It'll be at the fringes of knowledge of any expert.

I was at a panel with Joel Robinson once, and I asked how he'd compare getting started in public access stations vs doing YouTube today. He said it was a great question, but didn't have much of an answer. He's self-admittedly an old man who didn't have to start from scatch on YouTube.

Edit: autocorrect corrected

A tweet from 13 years ago. Bravo, solid shitpost.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 12 points 23 hours ago

He's still congratulating himself to this day.

I've got tweets from the 80s

The 1180s BCE were the original 80s. No one cares about the 1880s CE except some young dudes maybe, I'm not judging

“Great question “ is not a great answer
