Job applications these days.
Ai writes the cover letter and resume.
Ai reviews it and confirms/rejects.
That’s the trick, you don’t read them.
Person A creates an email with AI, attaches a ppt created with AI, and send it to person B.
Person B gets AI to summarise the email and ppt, and create a response.
Repeat.
It’s an ouroboros of shit.

The game of telephone has itself become mutated. I can’t tell if that’s funny or sad.
I know you’re (partially) joking but, the way I’ve seen my coworkers swoon over chatgpt for code snippets, I’d be shocked if thousands don’t already use it for summarizing emails.

Yeah, it’s really not good, especially because the people I’ve seen use this stuff the most are the ones who would rarely ever question the quality of the work it does or bother to make sure it’s accurate.
And because managers and business owners see “productivity” increase, they expect that that’s the new standard, and AI will essentially just have made doing quality work harder for everyone involved.

Exactly. With “AIs”, people need to remember that coherence ≠ cogency.
For the common user, it’s almost like that one quote that gets tossed around equating sufficiently-advanced technology and magic. The less-informed (those who truly believe the “AI” moniker that has been tacked on these things) read the output and it’s astonishingly readable, so they assume that since the nerdy experts built this thing, it must be correct.
Then as you said, managers/execs don’t make any effort to understand the lower echelon because capitalist Darwinism has caused them to chase numbers instead of, I dunno, connecting with the humans who actually keep their business running. LLMs are just their newest toy for slashing the shit out of wages on their P&L for the next several quarters.
Hah, I didn’t mean to sound like a crazy person, and I definitely don’t have a solution for capitalism, but that’s just my frustrated two cents.
