“Workslop” is when your colleagues or bosses communicate with you by pasting big chunks of AI-generated text. The core problem with workslop is that the effort involved is asymmetrical, like a denial-of-service attack: it takes almost no effort to produce text with AI, but it still costs effort to read.

    Fair point, but an few emaisl more or less won’t make a difference in the subscriptiin that my company is already paying for. The broligarchs won’t profit of that. The misinformation is also minimal, since nobody will ever read any of it.

      Yeah but hear me out: using these tools also has an element of deskilling and what early research is calling “cognitive surrender”. There’s also a hazard of cognitive self-harm in willingly using them in place of thinking. When your boss slop-bombs you, try actually reading it and then talking to them in person. See if they even know what they said, they might get scared straight.
