Depends on what you do. I personally use LLMs to write preliminary code and do cheap world building for d&d. Saves me a ton of time. My brother uses it at a medium-sized business to write performance evaluations... which is actually funny to see how his queries are set up. It's basically the employee's name, job title, and three descriptors. He can do in 20 minutes what used to take him all day.

What your brother is doing is a pretty good example of why this stuff needs to be regulated better. People's performance evaluations are not the kind of thing that these tools are equipped to do properly.

The manager could have metrics that they feed the AI so it can make it wordy. Some people really like to read a whole page of text about how they are doing.
