      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?

      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.
