Something went wrong once. Maybe not even in your organization, but it went wrong somewhere. Someone added a process to make sure that the problem didn't happen again, because that's what well-run organizations are supposed to do.
But too often, people don't think about the cost of the procedure. People are going to have to follow this procedure every time the situation happens for the next N years. How much does that cost in peoples' time? In money? How much did the mistake cost? How often did it happen? So was the procedure a net gain or a net loss? People don't ask that, but instead the procedure gets written and becomes "industry best practice".
(And for some industries, it is! Aviation, medical, defense... some of those have really tight regulation, and they require strict procedures. But not every organization is in those worlds...)
So now you have poor corporate drones that have to run through that maze of procedures, over and over. Well, if GPT can run the maze for you, that's really tempting. It can cut your boredom and tedium, cut out a ton of meaningless work, and make you far faster.
But on the other hand, if you are the person who wrote the procedure, you think that it matters that it be done correctly. The form has to be filled out accurately, not with random gibberish, not even with correct-sounding-but-not-actually-accurate data. So you cannot allow GPT to do the procedures.
The procedure-writers and procedure-doers live in different worlds and have different goals, and GPT doesn't fix that at all.
