Just when workers were getting used to the idea that artificial intelligence might replace them, a new survey suggests a different future: AI is helpful in the same way a toddler “helps” cook dinner. According to a new survey from automation company Zapier, U.S. enterprise workers spend an average of 4.5 hours a week cleaning up AI mistakes — more than half a workday devoted to fixing output that looked smart, confident, and utterly wrong. This phenomenon has a name now: “AI workslop.” It’s what happens when a machine delivers something polished enough to trust and flimsy enough to wreck your afternoon. The findings land awkwardly amid ongoing anxiety that AI will replace human labor. Instead, 58% of workers say they’re revising, correcting, or redoing what AI produces. Only 2% say they can just copy, paste and move on. The irony is thick: 92% of workers still say AI boosts productivity, even as 74% report negative consequences from low-quality outputs, including rejected work, security incidents and customer complaints.
