AI Slop Detector
Analyze any text for common AI writing patterns — the tells that give away text written by ChatGPT, Claude, or other LLMs. This tool uses the pattern catalogs from Stop-Slop (8.8K stars on GitHub) and blader/humanizer (22K+ stars) to detect:
- Throat-clearing openers ("Here's the thing", "Let me be clear")
- Emphasis crutches ("Let that sink in", "Make no mistake")
- Business jargon ("navigate", "unpack", "deep dive")
- Overused adverbs ("really", "literally", "actually")
- Binary contrasts ("Not X, but Y" structures)
- Rhetorical setups ("What if...", "Think about it")
- Passive voice and other AI-isms
Everything runs 100% in your browser: your text is never sent to any server. Paste, analyze, and clean — all private and instant.
How does this work?
This detector uses the pattern catalog from Stop-Slop (by Hardik Pandya, MIT license), a curated list of AI writing tells observed across thousands of LLM-generated texts. It also incorporates patterns from blader/humanizer (22K+ stars on GitHub).
The tool scans your text for 11 categories of patterns:
- Throat-clearing openers ("Here's the thing...")
- Emphasis crutches ("Let that sink in")
- Business jargon (navigate, unpack, landscape)
- Adverbs & filler words (really, just, literally)
- Binary contrasts ("Not X, but Y")
- Rhetorical setups ("What if...")
- Passive voice indicators
- And more...
The 5-dimension scoring (Directness, Rhythm, Trust, Authenticity, Density) is adapted from Stop-Slop's own rubric.
All processing is done in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Tips for better human-sounding text
- Cut throat-clearing openers. Delete phrases like "Here's the thing" or "It turns out." Just state your point.
- Kill adverbs. Remove "really," "just," "literally," "actually." They add nothing.
- Avoid binary contrasts. Don't say what something is not before saying what it is.
- Use active voice. Name the person or thing doing the action.
- Vary sentence length. Mix short and long sentences. Avoid three in a row with the same rhythm.
- Be specific. Instead of "the implications are significant," name the specific implication.
- Trust the reader. No hand-holding, no "think about it," no "and that's okay."
