Jev-powered Slop Mop shows another great use case for probabilistic, non-chatty AI model.
Decision-making AI model Jev has found another job: helping a Chrome extension identify and flag low-value writing on LinkedIn.
AI enthusiast, author, and business consultant Tom Frazier released Slop Mop as a Chrome extension on Tuesday, as well as publishing its code on GitHub for those who want to tinker with it on their own. Frazier said it’s free, doesn’t need any signup, and doesn’t just filter out AI slop, either - it catches garbage written by humans too.
The extension relies on nine signs drawn from research by SEO firm Graphite Growth into patterns that appear disproportionately often in AI-generated writing – a relevant issue on LinkedIn. AI-detection outfit Pangram classified 41 percent of the LinkedIn posts longer than 250 words in its sample as AI-generated, which doesn't include posts human authors use AI to improve. The problem has become so bad that LinkedIn recently added a button to the platform that allows users to report posts as "Seems Like AI Slop."
The question behind Slop Mop, Frazier writes in an FAQ on the extension’s website, is whether a post is worth your attention.
Slop Mop will either flag or hide posts that meet its threshold for slop, whether AI- or human-written, meaning that they won’t be removed from a LinkedIn feed and can still be reported using the “Seems Like AI Slop” button.

This is The Register's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with
verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives
that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure
this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
