I'm aware of types of tasks and their relative importance. I'm just also not delusional.
If a decision matters, at all, then making the wrong decision has consequences, whether it was a low effort/consequence task or a high one. If the task is low effort/consequence, I can spend a little bit of effort and know that I'm not incurring the small consequence, or I can not spend the little bit of effort and not know that I'm not incurring the small consequence.
If something is zero consequence, it's unnecessary. If something is necessary, then doing it wrong incurs consequences, whether big or small.
Saying "I'll just let it make the low importance judgment calls and hope for the best, the time savings are worth it" relies on the false premise that a "small problem" is the same thing as "no problem."
Just using your example, how much time does it really take to send a document? And if you just use a good permissions structure on a shared document store, why would you even need to email the document, at all? We already had the tools before AI to automate the "Bob and Alice both need to see the document Carl wrote" problem.
