One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce \u201cworkslop\u201d\u2014content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers. Research from BetterUp Labs and Stanford found that 41% of workers have encountered such AI-generated output, costing nearly two hours of rework per instance and creating downstream productivity, trust, and collaboration issues. Leaders need to consider how they may be encouraging indiscriminate organizational mandates and offering too little guidance on quality standards. To counteract workslop, leaders should model purposeful AI use, establish clear norms, and encourage a \u201cpilot mindset\u201d that combines high agency with optimism\u2014promoting AI as a collaborative tool, not a shortcut."}
