4 days agoThe secret to mastering AI is getting the division of labor right
AI was intended to handle operational tasks, but instead, cognitive tasks are outsourced, eroding our capacity to think critically.
As AI transforms workplace learning, a paradox has emerged: 40% of U.S. employees report receiving AI-generated "workslop," content that looks polished but lacks substance. It's something that's costing organizations nearly $9 million annually for every 10,000 employees, according to research from coaching platform BetterUp and the Stanford Social Media Lab. Each incident of workslop consumes nearly two hours of cleanup time, with nearly half those on the receiving end seeing colleagues who send such subpar work as less creative and less trustworthy.
