As someone who spends some amount of time at work doing stuff like converting 5 bullet points to a 3 page powerpoint presentation, I think everyone already knows it's corporate busy work. The point of it is not that anyone is going to read that 3 page report, it's to show that you've done work and produced some output ("demonstrating toil"). As long as they're insisting that it get done and are willing to pay for it to get done, I'm more than happy to ship that toil off to an AI. If it means I waste 2 minutes writing a good prompt rather than waste 30 minutes copying and pasting content, adding filler narrative, and picking the right font and color, that's more time back to do other things besides this performance art an employer expects of me.
Genuinely curious: what makes you think your employer will let you ship that toil off to an AI instead of just letting you go (or downsizing your team) and shipping off the toil themselves?
The acceptance that you've been doing corporate busywork as your career seems at odds with your confidence that you'll be the one to outsource that busywork to an AI. Doesn't the rapidly increasing capability of automated systems to pull off this busywork imply that careers built on doing that busywork are increasingly at risk? Am I missing something?
It could always happen, of course, especially now that we're in a bear market.
Most of us techies, at some point in our career, have managed to automate some boring or tedious part of our job. We don't tend to get let go for doing this, it just frees us up to do other, possibly higher-value things. Or, if you are less lucky, your employer just comes up with other not-yet-automated tedious things for you to do to demonstrate toil.
Our days are all filled with a combination of useless, low-value tasks and useful, high-value tasks. I'm personally a believer of finding the low-value tasks and automating them, so that you can spend more of your time on the high-value ones. I've worked with people who have the opposite view: Spend your time visibly toiling on whatever is easiest, because most employers can't tell the difference between spinning your wheels being busy and providing actual value.
