We created an AI usage code of conduct at our workplace. One of the golden rules is "Don't make other people's jobs harder."
As an example, we tried getting AI to generate weekly bug reports from analysing the most common crashes and asserts for the week, assigned to the right person with relevant context. It was a great idea, but too often the bug description and even the title required way too much jargon and comprehension to get through, and often the findings weren't quite right anyway, so it was only useful as a marker of "look at this crash please".
These walls of text people share with each other are another great example. If you're going to do that, you really have to ask it to talk as simply and as briefly as possible with no context assumed.
