Journalists using LLMs to turn bullet points into a full article

 Readers using LLMs to summarize a full article into a series of bullet points

My company is experimenting with using LLMs for yearly reviews and it works just like this. We feed in some bullet points of accomplishments and hope the LLM doesn’t fuck it up. Then the manager gets a condensed version down from the summaries.

Like why bother have the llm in the middle? Can’t I just send data?

Like why bother have the llm in the middle?

To attempt to abstract away actual responsibility for the manager's decisions

Some of the bullet points are outright wrong.

Some of the bullet points are misleading.

The reader would have been better off with the initial list.

Yes, but then how would the journalist keep up the appearance of being a serious intellectual who writes in long form?

Like, I unironically would love that, but it's culturally difficult right now.
