In a world where up to 90% of online content could soon be AI-generated—per Europol projections—and 72% of consumers trust companies less than last year, according to a Salesforce survey, the podcast warns of an "everything is fake" reality. Host Jordan argues that businesses must counter this by systematically elevating human domain expertise within AI processes to avoid "AI workslop"—generic, uninspiring outputs—and restore authenticity.

AI Content Flood and Detection Failures

AI now produces text, images, videos, and apps at scales and qualities indistinguishable from human work when guided expertly. Studies like one from Beringa show people detect AI images with only 30% accuracy, despite rising confidence.

Business leaders report AI-enabled fraud as a top challenge (72%, per Experian), affecting vendor proposals, resumes, and communications. Consumers and firms alike should assume most interactions—emails, social comments, debates—are synthetic, as detection tools falter, especially for text.

You're polluting the world with AI Workslop and you don't even know it. 🗑️

In a world were everything is free and fake -- or, AI -- it's easy to just throw unlimited spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks.
