Namely underperformers, people with a bad taste, weak judgmental power and cybercriminals. The underperformer is actually getting worse because he has no judgmental power. To recognize that he is actually producing AI waste, but feels so good because he thinks he is productive in his seemingly productive state, that he increases his output. Now comes the performer. They notice, hey, what the AI is doing on the first digger sounds good, but is only seemingly good. Because if you think about it a bit and edit what you have to do, AI does not reach the level of a performer. At the same time, I have less time, because the others, the bad ones, waste me a lot more with emails. That means I have even less time. My hamster wheel is spinning faster and I need longer and have to manage the quality better.

TL;DR

  • AI is currently boosting underperformers and cybercriminals more than high performers, because poor judgment prevents recognition of low-quality AI output.
  • Underperformers feel productive while generating AI waste, increasing output volume without improving quality or accuracy.
  • High performers spend extra time correcting AI-generated noise from others, leaving them with less capacity for meaningful, high-quality work.

Summary

In this short-form clip, speaker Anitra Eggler delivers a sharp provocation about the unintended consequences of AI adoption in the workplace. Her central argument is that AI is currently amplifying the wrong people — specifically underperformers, individuals with poor judgment, and cybercriminals — rather than elevating top talent. Underperformers, she contends, lack the critical discernment to recognize when AI output is low quality, so they confidently increase their output volume while producing what she calls 'AI waste.' High performers, by contrast, can identify AI's shortcomings and invest time correcting them — but this comes at a cost. As underperformers flood inboxes with AI-generated noise, performers are left with less time to do meaningful work, causing their own productivity hamster wheel to spin faster. The clip frames AI adoption as a human judgment problem first and a technology problem second, implicitly positioning SoSafe's human-centric security awareness approach as the necessary counterweight to uncritical AI use.

FAQ

What does Anitra Eggler mean by 'AI waste'?

AI waste refers to output generated by AI tools that appears productive on the surface but lacks quality, accuracy, or judgment — produced by people who cannot recognize its shortcomings.

Why does AI hurt high performers according to this clip?

High performers can identify poor AI output but must spend time correcting it or managing the increased volume of low-quality communications from others, leaving them with less time for high-value work.
