...well, almost retired - took DRP, so being paid through September 30 - I know at my agency there are tons of things that AI could do much more efficiently (and accurately) than humans, but in almost all cases, a human needs to review before final implementation. Those reviews are already being done once other humans do the processing.

In fact, the agency I was with lost so many people due to DRP, I'm not sure how they'll continue to function in the back offices without AI.
