After OpenAI's ChatGPT release, many workers noticed an increase in low-quality, AI-generated content dubbed "workslop," which wastes time and damages trust in workplaces.

Why it matters: Workslop creates confusion, wastes nearly two hours per employee monthly, and costs organizations millions in lost productivity.

Stunning stat: 40% of workers received workslop in the last month, with 15% of their content seen as unhelpful AI output.

The big picture: Without clear AI usage policies, employees risk producing low-effort content that burdens colleagues and harms team dynamics.

Commenters say: Many express concern over overreliance on AI and urge transparency when using AI-generated work to maintain trust and accountability.
