FWIW, at least one of the examples they cover actively requires manual edits to allow a report to be completed. The point isn’t to actively provide a final report, but a first draft for people to edit.
Now, in my experience this is pointless because writing is generally the least bothersome or time consuming part of most tasks that involve writing. If you’re a cop who maybe doesn’t do the letters part so good and has to write dozens of versions of “I stopped the guy and gave them a speed ticket”, maybe that’s not true for you and there are some time savings in reading what the chatbot gives you and tweaking it instead of writing it from scratch each time. I guess it depends on your preferences and affinity for the task. It certianly wouldn’t save me much, or any time, but I can acknowledge how there is a band of instances in this particular use case where the typing is the issue for some people.
Anyway, read the actually decent report. It’s actually decent.

And how do you think that would work in the real world? In a time crunch environment, aka every workplace under the Sun, you’ll do what you have to do. They’ll figure out the minimum amount of change needed to count as “human edited,” do that, and rubber stamp the rest. Delete and add three periods and click “submit.” That’s how mandatory edits will work in practice.
The report the other person linked above is specifically and entirely about those questions. Addresses them decently, too.
