Workslop: How Bad AI Output Is Killing Productivity | 24th Sep 2025

Why Companies Must Set Boundaries for AI Use

In this episode of the Colaberry AI Podcast, we dive into the growing problem of workslop — poorly executed, AI-generated work that clutters workflows and drains productivity. While AI tools promise speed, their misuse often results in low-quality, unhelpful output that shifts the burden of refinement onto others. Beyond wasted time and money, workslop damages collaboration, trust, and perceptions of competence within teams.

We’ll explore what workslop looks like in real-world organizations, its emotional and financial costs, and why leaders must step in with clear AI usage guidelines. The big takeaway: AI should enhance human effort, not create new inefficiencies.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

• Workslop Defined: Low-quality AI-generated output that burdens recipients instead of helping.
• Hidden Costs: Significant time and money wasted on cleaning up poor AI work.
• Social Impact: Employees seen as less competent when sending unreviewed AI content.
• Leadership’s Role: Organizations must set AI usage standards and encourage thoughtful review.
• The Future of Collaboration: AI should be a partner in productivity, not a blocker.
