[PROTOTYPE]: AI Slop Detector #21
Description
Create Userscript to Test AI Slop Detection Heuristics
Description
Build a standalone userscript to prototype and test heuristic-based detection of "AI Slop" — low-effort, generic, or likely AI-generated content, directly in the browser without needing a full browser extension.
This will allow rapid iteration and debugging of detection logic before integrating it into a Browser Extension.
Objectives
- Create a userscript that runs on page load
- Extract visible page text from
document.body.innerText - Apply basic heuristics to score and identify low-quality sections
- Highlight suspicious content blocks in the DOM
- Log or display an overall “Slop Score” on the page (e.g., as a floating badge)
Heuristic Signals to Test
- Overuse of generic phrases and transitions (e.g., “In conclusion,” “It is important to note…”)
- Low lexical diversity (type-token ratio)
- Repetitive or templated sentence structures
- Overuse of buzzwords without context (“cutting-edge,” “synergy,” etc.)
- Low named-entity density (few proper nouns or concrete references)
Implementation
- Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey-compatible userscript
- Basic detection logic encapsulated in a JS module or function
- Inline DOM modifications to show score and highlight flagged content
- Add toggle on/off button to enable or disable detection on demand
