You can’t fire a bot: The blunt truth about AI slop and your job

Matan-Paul Shetrit, Director of Product Management at Writer, argues that people must take responsibility for how they use AI. If someone produces poor-quality output, he says, the blame lies with the user—not the tool. He believes many misunderstand AI’s role, confusing its ability to accelerate work with an abdication of accountability. Speaking on The New Stack Agents podcast, Shetrit emphasized that “we’re all becoming editors,” meaning professionals increasingly review and refine AI-generated content rather than create everything from scratch. However, ultimate responsibility remains human. If an AI-generated presentation contains errors, the presenter—not the AI—is accountable. 

Shetrit also discussed the evolving AI landscape, contrasting massive general-purpose models from companies like OpenAI and Google with smaller, specialized models. At Writer, the focus is on enabling enterprise-scale AI adoption by reducing costs, improving accuracy, and increasing speed. He argues that bespoke, narrowly focused models tailored to specific use cases are essential for delivering reliable, cost-effective AI solutions at scale.
