I had a friend tell me about how ChatGPT makes his work so much faster. When I asked about it he told me that he works tech support and after the problem is resolved customers often ask for a root cause analysis. He uses ChatGPT to generate a fake but plausible looking analysis and this seems to satisfy the customers, letting him get tickets done faster and play games in the freed time.
- johnnyanmac 1y agoYeah, this is always my skepticism when I say "I get more work done". What about more good work? We had such a pushback last decade about "bullshit jobs" among the tech sphere, but we seemed to have fallen right into it. At least while the money is flowing to enable it.
- SchemaLoad 1y agoThere's a study in to this now https://hbr.org/2025/09/ai-generated-workslop-is-destroying-productivity https://hbr.org/2025/09/ai-generated-workslop-is-destroying-... "We define workslop as AI generated work content that masquerades as good work, but lacks the substance to meaningfully advance a given task." ChatGPT is basically pushing the real work on to the next person along the line who then has to fix up the generated workslop.
