I would rather my reports tell me to fuck off than to generate something telling me to fuck off in polite but insincere terms full of emojis and em dashes. Honesty is valuable.

I'm the opposite. If you're going to say something mean or obnoxious, then I would rather you say it politely with a lot of emojis.
I too would much rather that, because then I get to know them as unhelpful whining complainers and fire them. That's not a great outcome for that person though.
Lol you can't fire people for using AI when the corporate mandate lately is to use AI.
I think it has extra value in that it will be more unnerving to them than using profanities.
