AI slop reveals what hiring and performance reviews should actually measure
LadyAshBorg · x · 2026-09-23
The flood of AI slop points to a new reality: AI won't make human work disappear, nor let you hit a few buttons and take long breaks.
Key takeaways:
- If outcomes, not effort, are the currency, the only remaining skill is curating and editing AI output into well-thought-out, high-quality results.
- This should become the yardstick for performance reviews, hiring and rewards.
- Interviewing processes and platforms should evolve to evaluate exactly this ability.
