Among many small examples at my job, an incident report summary used to be hand written with a current status and pending actions. Then it was heavily encouraged to start with LLM output and edit by hand. Now it’s automatically generated by an LLM. No one bothers to read the summary anymore because they’re verbose, unfocused, and can be inaccurate. But we’re all hitting our AI metrics now.

I think a general, informal rule of thumb should be that you put in as much effort to write a thing as you expect from someone to read the thing. If you think I’m going to spend an hour figuring out what happened to you, you’d better have spent at least an hour actually trying to figure it out yourself.
