Same, but for academic documents.

It used to be that a 'bad' document had things 'missing', which were easy to spot and rephrase / suggest improvements.

Now a 'bad' document is 50 pages of confusing waffle instead of 5, you need to get through the headache of reading all 50 to figure out what 'sentence' the person was trying to express at the place where an autogenerated section has appeared, figure out if the condensed document is something that actually had any merit to begin with, THEN identify what's missing, and then ask them to try again.

At which point you get a NEW 50-page autogenerated document and start the process again.

F this shit.
