They have to be generic because it's a generic tool. If they write "this tool can arrange student field trips", people might ignore thinking it has a narrow purpose.

Yes, work is being trivialized, but the symptom here isn't caused by that.

The issue is not that they are generic. You could still be generic with phraseology that actually acknowledged the contributions and ownership involved in the jobs being done. For example, you could write e.g. "monitor for outages", "manage projects", "arrange community events", "handle logistics", and so on.

But the problem is LLMs can't do those things. All they can do is "edit files" and "send messages".
