"appears polished but lacks real substance,"
"[Y]ou might recall the feeling of confusion after opening such a document, followed by frustration,"
"You begin to wonder if the sender simply used AI to generate large blocks of text instead of thinking it through."
"unhelpful, low effort or low quality."
A survey of 1,150 U.S. desk workers in August and September measured experiences with polished but low-substance workplace content labeled workslop. Forty percent encountered workslop in the prior month and reported spending an average of 1 hour and 56 minutes addressing each instance. Based on respondent salaries, workslop incidents were estimated to cost about $186 per month per person and more than $9 million a year for a large organization. More than half of respondents felt annoyed, 38% felt confused, and 22% felt offended. About half viewed slop senders as less creative, capable, and reliable, and 18% of AI users admitted sending AI-generated content that was "unhelpful, low effort or low quality."
