This drives me nuts, when an urgent issue comes up I value concise, accurate answers so we can quickly agree and actually do the work.
We had an urgent issue recently and upper management wanted a plan for validating the fix. Rather than talking to the expert the manager one level down just sent an AI written suggestion without checking with anyone. After having checked with the correct person, I had to respond with "This is the MIL standard, we should follow this" while "ignoring" the manager's email. Luckily I had the goodwill to get away with correcting people like that.
