Only 30 minutes? You have it good! ^_^

This person is creating more work for an FTE who now has both a) the original job, and b) the additional load of purging corruption from the inputs for (a). This is happening at scale.

Your tolerance for this depends on how close to capacity you are for (a). It's a tale as old as corporate time, well-documented by Office Space and Dilbert.

Work is Work. Pantomime is Pantomime , whether it's with "frontier" or low-tier LoLMs.

What is acceptable right now is to believe that corrupting the inputs to the work of serious FTEs is somehow beneficial. You are expected to sing the revised words of the corporate anthem with your customary passion and obedience. Layoffs will continue until the morale of data centres has improved.
