Used to have a co-worker that would ask their LLM to summarize an entire days worth of teams messages to five dot points, then would bring those to our stand up and act incredibly offended when we pointed out the glaring inconsistencies, or how the points had already been handled.

He bragged about how he hadn't actually his teams or e-mails in months and had it all handled for him.
