“Workslop” is when your colleagues or bosses communicate with you by pasting big chunks of AI-generated text. The core problem with workslop is that the effort involved is asymmetrical, like a denial-of-service attack: it takes almost no effort to produce text with AI, but it still costs effort to read.

But you should add a disclaimer that you will not be held responsible for anything that is said in this communication, because you did not write it or read it
