The practical benefit is having basically zero parts.
We got a Flair manual espresso maker after our Gaggia Classic crapped out after a year (hard water buildup, probably). I de-scaled, replaced some parts, still didn't work.
You've got to disassemble the boiler and remove the scale from there. I run a Gaggia Classic at home with really hard water and my machine literally stopped flowing due to scale buildup. Once I fully pulled it apart and scraped all the scale out of the inside of the boiler it started running flawlessly.
Exact same thing happened to me, I sold the Gaggia and now I'm considering getting a manual one. The only issue is hot water as well as needing a separate steam wand, I wish there was an all in one solution for that.
"Tabletop gaming" was a term invented specifically to capture things that weren't considered self-contained enough to be a "board game" or "card game".
I agree that "a board" is not necessary, but I do think that "less faff than D&D or Warhammer 40k" is a hard requirement.
It seems like the most fully reified attempt at allowing a person to delegate _all_ of their responsibilities to the Slop Machine.
Which has of course always been the true allure of AI. Do nothing and pretend you did something, when pretending is something you can be bothered to do.
It's possible the receiving team may have complained about OP's writing before, too.
I will say, though, that I think the manager would have done better to encourage the recipients to opt-in to using a LLM to expound on specific points of confusion so that they'd have the actual source document in hand.
So it's not just a person developing a distinctive voice and not being able to "turn it off".
