Stop Slop

A skill for removing AI tells from prose. AI writing has patterns—predictable phrases, structures, and rhythms. Once you notice them, you see them everywhere.

What It Catches

Banned Phrases

Throat-clearing openers — Generic openings that delay the actual content:

  • •"Certainly!"
  • •"It is important to note that..."
  • •"It should be noted that..."
  • •"It is worth noting that..."
  • •"In today's fast-paced world..."
  • •"In the ever-evolving landscape of..."

Emphasis crutches — Overused emphasis patterns:

  • •"plays a crucial role"
  • •"is absolutely essential"
  • •"cannot be overstated"
  • •"is particularly important"

Business jargon — Empty corporate speak:

  • •"leverage the power of"
  • •"dive right in"
  • •"moving on to"
  • •"at the end of the day"

Structural Clichés

Binary contrasts — Forced either/or framings:

  • •"This isn't just X, it's Y"
  • •"On one hand... on the other hand..."

Dramatic fragmentation — Unnecessary line breaks for emphasis:

  • •Short sentences after long ones just for effect

Rhetorical setups — Predictable question-answer patterns:

  • •"So what does this mean?"
  • •"The answer is..."

Stylistic Habits

Tripling — Lists of three as a pattern:

  • •Examples, evidence, and expertise
  • •Fast, flexible, and affordable

Metronomic endings — Sentences that all end the same way

Immediate question-answers — Ask and answer in same paragraph

Scoring

Rate 1-10 on each dimension:

DimensionQuestion
DirectnessStatements or announcements?
RhythmVaried or metronomic?
TrustRespects reader intelligence?
AuthenticitySounds human?
DensityAnything cuttable?

Below 35/50: Revise the content.

Process

When editing content:

  1. •Scan for banned phrases — Remove throat-clearing openers
  2. •Fix structural clichés — Break binary contrasts, reduce tripling
  3. •Check rhythm — Vary sentence length and structure
  4. •Respect trust — Don't over-explain, don't state obvious
  5. •Verify authenticity — Does it sound like a human wrote it?
  6. •Trim density — Cut anything that doesn't add value

What to Remove

  • •Filler phrases and hedging
  • •Overused transitions (Furthermore, Moreover, Additionally)
  • •Artificial formality (due to the fact that, in order to)
  • •Redundant expressions (each and every, various different)
  • •Meta-commentary (As mentioned above, This demonstrates...)
  • •Generic openings (Certainly!, In today's fast-paced world...)

What to Preserve

While removing slop, keep:

  • •Genuine technical explanations
  • •Actual insights and analysis
  • •Meaningful examples and evidence
  • •The author's authentic voice
  • •Facts and accurate information

Anti-Goals

This skill does NOT:

  • •Dumb down the writing
  • •Remove all complexity
  • •Change your personal style
  • •Eliminate necessary explanations
  • •Make everything short

Transformation Examples

Example 1

BEFORE (AI Slop):

"It is important to note that consistent practice plays a crucial role in skill development. Furthermore, one must consider that motivation is a key factor in maintaining this consistency. Moreover, this highlights the importance of setting realistic goals."

AFTER (Human):

"Consistent practice develops skills. Motivation keeps you going, so set realistic goals."

Example 2

BEFORE (AI Slop):

"It should be noted that there are various different approaches to solving this problem. Each approach offers a unique set of advantages and disadvantages. In conclusion, the best choice depends on the specific context."

AFTER (Human):

"Several approaches can solve this problem. Each has pros and cons. Pick what fits your situation."

Example 3

BEFORE (AI Slop):

"Certainly! Let's dive right in. In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses must leverage the power of technology to stay competitive. It's crucial to understand that digital transformation is not just a buzzword."

AFTER (Human):

"Let's dive in. To stay competitive, businesses need technology. Digital transformation matters."
