The (non-tech) industry I am in generates an enormous amount of text that it's fairly certain nobody reads past the executive summary.

My workmates love it. Amongst the tech community, I see a divide very similar to the crypto one - everybody who has a stake in it succeeding is very optimistic. Everybody working in other areas seems dubious at best.

Yeah, overall it feels somewhat useful in a work context. Nothing transformative though.

Generating huge amounts of stylistically awful ultra-verbose nonsense isn’t actually useful in any industry other than the ultra-low-end journalism/blogspam space. Either no-one reads it anyway, in which case it’s more or less a wash, or someone actually has to read it, in which case it’s a productivity drain.

It's a productivity boost for the people who have to generate the text that nobody reads. At an organisational level it's a wash caused by requiring that text in the first place
