Researchers at consulting firm BetterUp Labs, in collaboration with Stanford Social Media Lab, have coined a new term to describe low-quality, AI-generated work: “workslop.” As defined in an article published this week in the Harvard Business Review, workslop is “AI generated work content that masquerades as good work, but lacks the substance to meaningfully advance a given task.” BetterUp Labs researchers suggest that workslop could be one explanation for the 95% of organizations that have tried AI but report seeing zero return on that investment. Workslop, they write, can be “unhelpful, incomplete, or missing crucial context,” which just creates more…

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler already had missed his birdie try on the 14th hole when Bryson DeChambeau waved him over to help read his putt the Americans desperately needed.Scheffler might’ve been the wrong guy to ask, because he simply has had no answers this week at Bethpage Black.The world’s No. 1-ranked player lost twice more on Saturday to become the first U.S. player to lose in each of the first four sessions of the Ryder Cup, a big reason Europe has a commanding 11 1/2-4 1/2 lead.England’s Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood rallied after Scheffler briefly had his…
As vaccine hesitancy increases around the country, some parents are choosing to delay routine shots for their children rather than skip them altogether. But that’s a perilous decision that could jeopardize the health of infants, weaken protection against debilitating diseases and lead to outbreaks, medical experts say.Childhood vaccination rates are backsliding across the country, a trend professionals widely attribute to misinformation about the safety of shots. Those fears have been amplified by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and President Donald Trump, who this week encouraged parents to break up childhood vaccinations into multiple doctors visits and postpone…
If you’ve been on the New York City subway recently, you’ve probably seen stark white ads promoting a wearable AI device called Friend. CEO Avi Schiffman told Adweek that the company spent more than $1 million on a campaign with more than 11,000 cards on subway cars, 1,000 platform posters, and 130 urban panels. Some stations, like West 4th Street, are completely dominated by Friend ads. “This is the world’s first major AI campaign,” Schiffman said. (There have been other AI ads of questionable effectiveness, but perhaps not a print campaign of this scale.) He described it as “a huge…
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — It might be fair to say nobody was going to beat a Ryder Cup duo on a roll — one that’s so good, it has its own nickname: “Fleetwood Mac.”But Harris English and Collin Morikawa against one of Europe’s best teams, well, that never seemed like a fair fight.American captain Keegan Bradley put those two together not once but twice, and bad luck paired them against Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood both times.The Americans didn’t make it past the 16th hole in either match, and their 3-and-2 loss in Saturday’s foursomes would have been worse had…
