As tech recruitment firm Twill faces scrutiny over employees using unedited AI-generated texts, the industry is reckoning with workslop—mass-produced, low-quality automated content.
With survey data showing widespread usage, companies like Clay and Spellbook are introducing new communication policies.
This situation is exacerbated by the pressure exerted by some managements for the continuous use of artificial intelligence, often linking the use of these tools to the evaluation of employees. Phenomena such as “tokenmaxxing”, that is, the production of a huge volume of texts for the sake of impression, lead to a decrease in real productivity and to staff burnout. A survey by BetterUp Labs showed that more than half of the participants have sent low-quality material produced by AI, recognizing its lack of usefulness.
Several companies are now starting to set boundaries. Software startups Clay and Spellbook have introduced new communication policies, emphasizing that creating a document should take longer than reading it and asking staff to maintain authenticity. Similarly, at tech recruitment firm Twill, the CEO asked her team to stop using Claude’s pre-written texts for internal messages, allowing the AI to be used only for organizing thoughts and not as a substitute for the human voice.
