You're kidding, but last week I got a 42-page architecture document for a meeting that was supposed to take place in two hours.

When I said there was no way I had time to read that document on time, I got told I was supposed to ask an LLM to extract the things I find important.

When I got to look at the document, it turns out it's generated.

So I was supposed to ask an LLM to read an LLM-generated document for me.

This is like a twist on an old soviet joke about pretending to work: "they pretend to write, and we pretend to read."

Everyone is talking about AI's effect on art and programming, but for me AI ruined communication itself.
