It’s less about this specific isolated incident and more about what it suggests broadly about their behavior with respect to ChatGPT.
But even for this specific incident, I’d even say that while less controversial, saying “I’ll just google up what to do” would also be a bit of a let down. It suggests a lack of thoughtfulness even if that’s really what someone does. Ask for input and then come back with your plans without referring to how you are leaning on some tech, so the person can at least think maybe you put in a measure of actual thought and effert.
