Workslop

Workslop is AI-made work that looks finished until you touch it. The headings are tidy, the grammar is respectable, and the actual thinking has been left for the recipient to discover, usually while muttering at the screen. The sender saves time by handing over a polished shell; the colleague, client or teacher has to work out what was meant, verify the claims, repair the missing context or start again. The labour has not disappeared. It has changed desks. The book describes the feeling before naming the term: a technically sound article that is somehow hollow because nobody cared enough to author it. Workslop dents productivity, yes, and more quietly it dents trust. After enough of it you stop wondering whether the work is correct and start wondering whether the sender even read it.
