Regular AI users work more: mental load and time spent fixing "AI slop" rise
In BCG research covering 14 markets and 11,749 workers, 41% of regular AI users reported growing mental load. Other studies find AI users work up to 90 minutes longer a day and spend a day a week fixing "AI slop".
Who is affected and how
- employee
- AI does not automatically reduce working hours; checking outputs also takes time.
- manager
- When measuring productivity, also measure time spent on corrections, and set limits against pressure to speed up.
- HR professional
- Monitoring burnout risk and workload is a new HR task.
