AI "workslop" is hurting coworker dynamics
Update: 2025-10-08
Description
AI slop is pointless content shared online like fake images and videos. A new study in the Harvard Business Review wants us to consider a variant: “workslop,” or AI-generated reports, emails and more that are sloppily crafted.
The authors of the study say 40% of workers they surveyed have encountered workslop. And that's costing time and money.
Marketplace’s Nova Safo spoke with social psychologist and vice president of BetterUp Labs Kate Niederhoffer, who co-authored the study. She said workslop harms interpersonal work relationships, such as when one employee receives an AI written report from another.
