"The Workslop Tax" by Marketoonist comic / Tom Fishburne - #GenAI has been earning a reputation for #workslop: polished-looking but unhelpful low-quality content that others need to rework or correct, if anyone does. https://marketoonist.com/2026/09/the-workslop-tax.html #AI #AIslop #business #tech #oops

@KO6YQ That's what getting a many-thousand-line diff to code review feels like.

And you know that the person who got a bot to shit it out is having their productivity metrics skyrocket, while yours are cratering.

I hate it. I hate it so, so fucking much.
