I guess that's one way for calls to be _way_ more efficient than other methods, because she's now offloaded the documentation to you, whereas an e-mail would have inherently documented things.

(Incidentally, this reminds me how I changed message retention in Outlook at some point, because there'd be the occasional times when I needed to find an old e-mail, but I couldn't search for it, because local retention is such that old messages disappear from the local computer, and thus from search.)

So much more efficiency!

I'm wondering if these people also misuse genAI.

"Misuse" because there's a wild difference from using it and then fact-checking all the output, and using it like a kid cheating on their high-school homework.
