What you said gave me an idea of how to really make AI useful at work! :-)

Every quarter HR requires that we write our "perspective" for the next quarter; what we are going to do and how we are going to improve ourselves. It's purely bureaucratic exercise, has no meaning and no impact on anything anybody does, but on an off-chance somebody reads it I cannot just fill it with nonsense. Writing something resembling sensible, in a stilted language required, always makes me struggle much more than writing code or something with meaning.

Strange that I haven't though about using an LLM or this before; seems like a perfect job for it.

Yeah, admittedly I've used chatgpt for such things. That and resignation letters. Funny enough one of the team leads sent me a message over chat when I was leaving my old jobs, saying that he'd like to stay in touch with me cause we have similar interests and he really values me as a developer. He also used chatgpt for that message. How do I know? His English was insanely limited and couldn't have come up with such sophisticated words. Also grammar was 10/10. I laughed it off and moved on though.

But yeah, I abhor bureaucracy and trivial bs like the one you mentioned so I'm more than happy to outsource this issue to someone/something else.
