Using AI to complete bullshit work tasks that shouldn't exist in the first place. Yep, I know that feeling very well.

Had loads in my last job. I could spend a few hours and struggle to fill in a few sentences for this bullshit form HR keep sending us, or I could ask ChatGPT to write the most obviously generic corpospeak crap that for some reason people like and are even impressed when I say that I used AI for it.
