Most corporate communications are unnecessarily fluffy to begin with because it makes it look like more work was done. Most of the time I don’t even understand why I’m explaining something and it feels like the only requirement is to have words on a page.
Sometimes the only requirement IS to have words on a page. Think about a disaster recovery plan, for example. Now, you probably don’t want an LLM to write your disaster recovery plan, but it’s a perfect example of something where the main value is that you wrote it down, and now you can be certified that you have one.
I just asked GPT to create a disaster recovery plan for a ransomware attack, and actually the information it gave wasn’t wrong or bad. But it’s also very generic, and it will rarely/never tell you correctly the specifics to your applications or where to click.

Right. Again, though, I don’t recommend having an LLM do that particular chore for you.
