I work in government and part of my job is writing memos or documents that nobody will ever read but that some congressional mandate requires me to have on file. I absolutely offload that to AI so I can do my real job.
What a grotesque job this is.
This is another answer that misunderstands my question. It's changed your job but has it improved the quality of life of the public served by your office ?
