We should actually restructure our organizations/society in such a way that this stops being necessary. If no one reads a report, it was almost certainly a waste of effort. The only possible benefit was for the report-writer (which of course is also flushed if the "writer" uses an LLM). These things were already a plague before LLMs.

Arguable; reports may be legal requirements or important for handover. Can't have a functional legal system without police reports, for example, or a functional medical system without health care providers sharing information.

Boring reports are also important for historians, although granted, not everything is actually important in the long run.
