Have you ever received a 10-page document that looked impressive, only to realise it was clearly spat out by AI, with no real human thought behind it? That’s what AI expert Neo Aplin calls AI slop: content that’s high on volume but low on value.

In this conversation, Neo and Amantha unpack:

• Why AI slop is becoming increasingly common in workplaces
• The hidden costs of drowning teams in AI-generated documents
• Why creating more content is no longer a measure of good work
• How to shift the focus from volume to targeted value
• Practical strategies for making your work stand out in an AI-saturated world

If you’ve ever felt buried under AI-generated fluff - or worried your own work is being lost in the noise - this episode will help you cut through the slop and get back to what really matters.
