Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based writing detector that labels paragraphs human-ish, machine-ish, or mixed.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.

For: Writers checking whether prose has an AI-shaped texture
Worth noticing: The Standard model is 56 KB; a sharper 125 MB model answers only 9% of paragraphs.

Field notes

Slop Meter processes text paragraph by paragraph and displays a confidence-style reading rather than a binary authorship verdict. Its examples span AI-generated product copy, Wikipedia, Thoreau, and a federal press release, while the page also exposes CPU and WebGPU benchmarks. The smaller Standard model is intended for fast local reading; the 125 MB Sharper model is more selective and only answers on a stated 9% of paragraphs.
