Babysitting the Machine: Glean's Rebecca Hinds on the Hidden Human Labor of AI at Work
What was said
"Botshitting is the dissipation of work that hasn't been checked, that workers can't explain. We see 40 to 41% of employees saying they ship AI work that they couldn't explain if asked. This is botshitting, and I think it's pervasive."
Nearly 70% of surveyed workers admit to passing along AI-generated work they cannot explain or defend, a phenomenon the report calls 'bot shitting.' This represents both the remarkable capability of AI to produce passable work and the prevalence of meaningless bullshit work in organizations. The behavior correlates with worker disengagement and intention to leave their jobs.
