If the job at your nuclear power plant were so simple you only needed the employee to follow operational procedures, then you'd be better off scripting it instead, or training a monkey.

Consider e.g. being a pilot, or a surgeon - two other occupations known for their extensive use of operational procedures today. People in those jobs are not being hired for their ability to stick to a checklist, but rather for their ability to understand reasons behind it, and function without it. I.e. the procedures are an important operational aid, not the driver.

Contrast with stereotypical bureaucrats who only follow procedures and get confused if asked something not covered by them.

Now, IMHO, the problem here is that, if you're hiring someone who relies on an LLM to function, you're effectively employing that LLM, with its limitations and patterns of behavior. As an employer, you're entitled to at least being made aware of that, as it's you who bears responsibility and liability for fuckups of your hires.
