There has been development of a new Chrome extension dubbed Slop Mop, which adopts a different strategy to deal with AI-written content posted on LinkedIn. The Chrome extension developed by Tom Frazier, a writer and consultant, relies on Jev, an AI model, for making decisions on content value judgment, but not content authenticity.

How Slop Mop Spots Poor Content

Slop Mop analyzes the content of a post to look for certain things, such as overstatements, engagement, vague statements, being too polished, using flowery language, being very rigid, and using curiosity-inducing formatting. Additionally, Slop Mop determines whether a post is personal and provides valuable information.

AI Detection Is Not the Main Goal

It does not automatically label any posts as AI-written as part of the detection process. It’s only one criterion among others used in assessing the quality of the writing. Posts written by both humans and AI can be flagged for being unhelpful or repetitive.

Built Around Jev

Slop Mop was built by Frazier partly for the purpose of testing an API-based probabilistic decision-making model named Jev, which was designed by TypeSafe. This can be considered open-source software and can be analyzed.

FAQs

Is Slop Mop free?
Yes. It requires no sign-up and currently allows up to 250 analyzed LinkedIn posts per day.

Does it delete posts?
No. It only flags or hides posts from the user’s feed.

Is it an AI detector?
Not primarily. Its main purpose is identifying content that may waste readers’ attention.

Conclusion

Slop Mop presents a solution to the problem of repetitive and uninteresting LinkedIn content by concentrating on the significance and writing quality instead of artificial intelligence.
