I never have this problem of people giving me AI responses to my questions.

What I do have a problem with is people who do this:

    I used to contract with a company where it was almost ubiquitous for someone to start a text-based conversation with the entire message: "Hey..." — ellipses and everything. It was bad enough that other members of my company that were contracted to the same contract would jokingly add ellipses to random things when messaging each other.

    Just ignore them. They will catch on eventually.

    Yeah, I straight up don't respond until they've asked/said the thing that they're contacting me for.

    Usually they finish their thought without me ever needing to respond. I did have one coworker who just... never said anything else. That's also a win.

    Are you talking about people just saying "hi" or the meta-behavior of people using nohello.net in their Teams/Slack status? Because the latter is more annoying to me

    How come you find the latter annoying?

    It's the most effective way to let the entire company aware they should not start their conversation that way with me

    IDK, have you considered that perhaps the people demanding to be approached/questioned in a specific way are the friction point here?

    Even on the nohello site, the "right" and "wrong" conversations are the exact same length (two messages each way). I genuinely struggle to see the point of any of this.

    The questions may be the same length, but what isn't the same length is the time between the initial asking and the final answer. In the first example the actual question isn't asked for 5 minutes after the initial conversation start, whereas in the second example the whole exchange is over in less than 2 minutes.

    You looked at the word count but not the timestamps.

    The hello is not the issue. But getting a notification before the question is.

    Ultimately what happens if there's a bunch of "helloers" approaching you, you end up muting the messaging app and only check messages every X time. Rather than being available, pros and cons. And there's definitely an argument to be had, that it's the superior way of working - But hello only people, just shoot themselves in their foot and get longer time to response
