AI-generated content is spreading fast — from strange social media videos to fake product reviews and “polished” workplace writing that says very little. This flood of low-quality output is often called AI slop, and it is creating real problems for consumers, platforms, and businesses.

In this episode of Down to Business English, Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega get Down to Business with AI slop — the growing wave of low-quality, AI-generated content that is showing up across the internet. They explain what AI slop looks like on platforms like YouTube, how it is impacting online shopping through fake or exaggerated reviews, and why it is now appearing inside companies as so-called ‘workslop’ — AI-written emails, reports, and documents that sound professional but lack substance.

Skip and Samantha's conversation gives listeners a clear, practical introduction to how AI-generated content is reshaping online trust and business communication — while helping you build your Business English. In this episode, you will learn:

  1. What ‘AI slop’ means, and why it is becoming so common online.
  2. Why fake or AI-written reviews create real risk for shoppers and brands.
  3. What ‘workslop’ is, and how low-quality AI writing can reduce productivity inside companies.
  4. Why human oversight matters if companies want AI to create value, not noise.
