AI Slop is Creating More Work, Not Less
Tuesday, 22 September, 2026

AI was supposed to save us time. Instead, it may be creating a new problem: AI slop (polished-looking emails, reports, presentations, research and code that someone else has to review, fact-check and fix). In this episode, Today in Tech host Keith Shaw talks with Chris Bevil of Commvault about the growing “review tax” of generative AI, why executives and employees may have very different views of AI productivity, and what happens when AI-generated information starts becoming accepted as corporate truth. They also dig into productivity theater, AI checking other AI, why people may trust AI more than it has earned, and a disturbing deepfake scam involving fake executives. Is AI actually eliminating work, or just moving the work to someone else?
