No. "I don't know" may be interpreted as "I don't care". Adding additional info may be a way to say "I do care". Similar to sometimes we say "I don't know, but I googled it, and I got this".

Also, LLM's answers can be good if the prompts are good, so can still be helpful.

Turning up to a potluck with no food says "I don't care".

Turning up to a potluck with a bag of garbage you got for free in the dumpster on the way says "I don't care, and I'm so dumb I think you're too dumb to know this is trash".

This is more like bringing fast food burgers. Yeah, it's a bit lazy, but some people do actually appreciate the effort. And post of the people complaining aren't even part of the potluck.

"I don't know. Do you want me to figure it out?" would be my take, depending on circumstances.

There is whole range of requests or questions that I don’t care but I don’t want to reply „I don’t care” especially when someone asks for something easily googlable/llmable.

A much better way to say "I do care" is to be explicit about that. "It's an important question, but you should ask someone more knowledgeable."
