I agree but to be fair, often people could have asked an AI to get their answer. Especially seniors are prone to this (thinking the AI could not possibly know this or other biases). The responder wrote they asked Claude so as to not take credit for the answer and also to indicate they did not vet it. Then the person asking can decide if they want to read the answer or not (often a 1 sec glean can reveal if it is promising or completely off track.

In that case, it would be better to suggest to the asker that they can ask the AI. Otherwise why would they ever start? Always asking Slack is easier.

"I don't know." is a better answer than "Claude said..."
