"speeding up some tasks yet making others slower due to lower quality outputs"

So use it for the tasks that were made more efficient, and stop using it for the ones that slowed down or were low quality.

I think they mean that the output that makes task X more efficient slows down task Y that uses the previous output.

I mean.. it's software. It's only as good as you leverage it.

Given that it's people who work for the government, expectations are already low, if no training is provided results will be even worse and last but not least, if the product is absolutely crap, why would you continue using it?
