I've seen director / VP-level folks at a public company point LLMs at a corporate product and essentially ask it "What deficiencies do you see here? Output to a Word document." Then forward the output to engineering management as a product task list. One person did this to the same product more than once in a couple week span without realizing it so there were multiple documents with conflicting issue lists floating around trying to be read and triaged. And the expectation is that this comprehensive analysis was done so easily, product fixes should be just as easy.

At this point you can abstract what you wrote to any kind of task. I'm seeing people generate multiple takes on one concrete topic, poop out all kinds of artifacts, and keep emitting them within and outside of the company.
