Fighting slop with slop.

"You see, we like our Nazis in uniform. That way we can spot 'em just like that. But you take off that uniform, ain't no one ever gonna know you were a Nazi. And that don't sit well with us. So, I'm gonna give you a little something you can't take off..."

I love the term "unslop" when of course that's the exact opposite of what you're doing. Very evil. Much wow.

The quiz is easy, humans use smaller words because they are not as well read as AI.

However I couldn't do the quiz because after one or two questions I was forgetting what I was supposed to be clicking, human text or AI text.

The UI should visually confirm what you just makred and as what and have a button to proceed to next question when you are satsified with your selection.

I don’t think this is working that well. The unslopped content has a whiff of automatic translation. In the same way that it is impossible to get an LLM to sound authentically British.

bossyTeacher•7m ago

What does "authentically British" means? Is a formal letter more authentic than a teenager chat style message? Regional variances? What is this core you allude to that is universally recognizable?

Reminds me of the whole "no-makeup" makeup concept.

It's as simple as adding to the prompt beforehand or asking for the style to be modified afterward, but the hallmark of most slop-mongers is that they don't actually care enough to put in even that much effort.
