AI-GENERATED “WORKSLOP” IS DESTROYING PRODUCTIVITY
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
"Workslop" is AI-generated content that lacks substance but appears polished. Due to AI being used more, there's more low-effort AI slop at work, leading to worse productivity overall, as it shifts the burden of real effort to the receivers of the AI slop. This "workslop tax" has financial and interpersonal costs, bringing down trust and collaboration.
