“Workslop” is a term that defines bad, “AI” generated work product that someone produces to fulfill their work duties on a surface level that their coworkers will have to clean up: I generate a bunch of code that kinda works and someone else realizes that it’s a hot mess when trying to run it and has to clean up the mess. In that example I would have produced workslop (but might have been very efficient!).

The experience of workslop (whether it’s real or mostly perceived as I showed in my short story) directly erodes social connection, erodes trust in one another and in the end erodes solidarity. Because why would you stand with a person who does not do their job and offloads their work on you?
