1st, the cost of revising a text by an expert is less work than the cost of writing from scratch. Of course you should never just pass off LLM output without applying some expertise. Still revising the output saves you anywhere from 20-80% of the time.
2nd, you overestimate the importance of precision for most info worker tasks. Summarizations by definition leave out details - which ones are important is ALWAYS going to be debatable.

I’m not so sanguine. Some % of info work is predictable, repetitive. Eg drafting reports, summarizing long docs, analyzing excel. In 10m with good prompts, LLM gives output upon which I can add my expertise, clean the flow, add my voice, validate the output. A day’s work now only hrs. Increased productivity means we don’t need to hire as many new staff, interns, etc. LLM use doesn’t have to mean “replace a whole job” to have an impact.
