  it turns out if you want to draw a square it's easier, cheaper and better to just draw a square than it is to train an algorithm on billions of squares and hope that it produces a square on the other end.  [embedded post]

  Wow, who would have guessed this could happen...  “A confusing contradiction is unfolding in companies embracing generative AI tools: [...] Employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers.”  —  hbr.org/2…

  The article echoes what I've seen and heard from peers: AI makes it easy to produce slick but shallow work that looks plausible on the surface, yet riddled with errors or bad assumptions underneath.  —  Your coworkers end up having to fix or redo it.  —  It's workslop, and it's s…

  whether it's just AI slop being AI slop, or workers “quiet quitting” and making slop, the fault is still on the employers for creating that environment. bosses need to admit to themselves that this is the best that AI can offer. cut your losses and respect your workers.

  “41% of workers have encountered such AI-generated output, costing nearly two hours of rework per instance and creating downstream productivity, trust, and collaboration issues”  —  I've edited AI-generated copy.  It always needs massive rewrites.  Right now, AI is only good at f…

  i usually hate it when business types come up with business neologisms for the noble art of shirking.  —  but i think i'll let them have “workslop”.  when your coworker gives you AI work pseudo-product that saves time for him (consistently a him) and takes up yours instead.  —  h…
