> And then they dump it in your lap as being helpful

I've been guilty of this and gotten pushback from my manager: "this feels like homework, cut these options down to 100 words each, max".

Curation and refinement are even more important when you can have genAI generate reams of text.

Seeking outside signals is even more important, like talking to customers, looking at real usage data, and more. It's too easy to trust believe what Claude tells you, even if you say "please argue against this idea", which you always should.

This. The amount of long winded unedited docs people think it’s ok to dump on me now is unbelievable.

I have seen this happening with contracts. Using AI to help evaluate contracts is fine, but I'm getting 5-10 page Claude docs with dozens of asks that they haven't read and many of which don't make sense. I find it pretty counterproductive, because it makes negotiation almost impossible -- you can't tell what the other side wants, because they haven't even read the output.

We've really reached the point where one person uses AI to create an impressive report based on a few prompts with some keywords, and the receiver uses another AI to summarize the report to a short TL;DR that's almost identical to the input prompts.

Yep, I've received a few powerpoints like that.

I'm using Claude to write large files too, but it's a very iterative process and involves a lot of reading and correcting.

I'm beginning to see this in my industry (consulting). I was at a client site last week and in a room with some heavy hitters both from my side and client side but in a casual setting (lunch). Everyone was discussing how they sometimes "cheat" using genAI to put together decks when one of the out-of-the-blue 1 sentence questions that takes 4 hours to answer come down from the c-suite. They all said they heavily edit the output but at least it gives them a place to start. I have my doubts though, i wonder how many times they just take it as gospel and forward the deck on.

to be fair, i've been guilty of this with code. Ask claude to generate a python script that takes X as input and produces Y as output, run it, pipe to more, output looks ok but i don't check everything, write it to a file, send it on.

Yep. I got a 16,000 word doc asking for 24 pictures for our ads

It's a problem

I'm a victim of this. Very bad taste of AI generated gibberish that was obviously not read through before being sent.

clearly you just need to have your agent review, summarize, and take appropriate actions on the docs being sent to you.
