Stop the Slop: How We're Keeping AI Out of Our Blind Spots | Ep 221

AI slop isn't a writing problem; itʼs an effort problem that shows up when we outsource our thinking to the model.

On this episode, the team walks through what AI slop actually is, how we're keeping it out of own channels, and practical tools like a viral AI Writing Policy and skills our team uses internally to help you stop the slop.

Jon kicks off with version updates including v19.4 in beta with AI agents coming very soon, Rock IQ, and v20 development. He shares his hot take on AI slop framing it as a human problem rather than a technology problem.

Nicole walks through the Write-Like-Me skill, which is an internal tool used to speed up drafting communications in your real voice while stripping generic AI output. Itʼs refinable over time and we're giving it away for free. Find it in the shownotes.

Emily brings in Extreme Ownership, applying Jocko Willinkʼs stewardship principle to Rock admins. There are no bad teams, only bad leaders, and there is no AI slop problem, only a review process nobody is enforcing. Download the resources and listen to this episode to learn how you can apply them.
