Singapore's High Court just dealt with AI hallucinated cases. Now there's a name for this: "Workslop."

AI-generated work that looks polished but shifts all the thinking to whoever receives it.

For solo counsels: Can't afford 2 hours cleaning up slop contracts. Can't risk hallucinated precedents. Can't bill clients for AI cleanup time.

The tool doesn't fix the craftsman. Quality control still requires YOUR brain.

When AI Makes You Look Busy, Not Productive

A new term is making headlines: "workslop"—AI-generated work that looks polished but lacks substance. Research found 40% of workers encountered it last month, costing $186 per employee in cleanup time. For resource-constrained lawyers, you can't spend time fixing what's irretrievably broken.

This is going to be one of the most fully formed posts I have written. What’s taking weeks to write is becoming a night work. I spent more time gestating and researching than the mechanical task of writing. I’m sure I can come up with more ways to be even more effective. Wow. #AI https://www.alt-counsel.com/the-solo-counsel-reality-what-minlaws-ai-guidelines-miss-about-in-house-practice/

I think of legal academia as a festival movie, full of nuance and craft. I think of legal practice as a bunch of tiktoks, droning vlogs and "reels" chaotically rolled into one. #LawFedi #inhousecounsel #lawprofessors

I like when people 'concur' and don't just 'agree' or 'yeah'.
Happens so rarely for #inhousecounsel that I like to savour a full concurrence
