"Clippy, write me a 25 page requirements doc for an integration between Workday and our IAM solution."

Thanks to that joke I just imagined how it could be a game changer for internal corporate documents (the kind that are 50+ pages and never read), especially if it’s native into Office.
We'll have to invent a new form of busy work to justify head count.
Employee: Chatbot, write me a 20 page document describing what I've been working on the past two weeks so that I can give it to my manager.

Manager: Chatbot, write me 1 page summaries of these documents from my employees so that I can collate them for the CEO.

CEO: Chatbot, where should I go on vacation next?

In Kino's Travels (I guess nowadays Kino's Journey), there was one country in the first anime adaptation where people no longer needed to work because the system/computer/whatever it was called did it all for them, so they spent all their time confirming its correctness.
I fucking LOVE Kino's Journey, nobody else I've met has ever seen it!

TIME TO REWATCH YET AGAIN

Actually reading printed copies of those documents would be the penultimate busy works, so much that it would quickly become uberablingly alienating!
And what would be the ultimate busy works?
