Slop Detective

Cool new website I found by Kagi. Learn how to detect slop and be a better netizen.

They have been doing a lot of great things lately. Their Orion browser (which is stable now) also seems to work well for all that it is meant to do and be.

Wont there be a time when slop will be indistinguishable from real people content?

Before that happens, we will also have tools to detect these but it will unironically, also use AI…

It’s fairly easy to identify AI slop once you’ve read enough of it…

You would think so but unfortunately it’s not so easy, you will often see people commenting that something is AI slop even when it is completely genuine.

Some of my friends in the art industry have mentioned that they are often accused of having AI art despite it being human made.

Nothing is sacred anymore. But curious: how do they deal with it?

You’ll be complacent thinking you can train yourself to do this but in time you will fall prey to what in your perception are false negatives.

Yeah, I am concerned about some of the images I have seen Google’s Nano Banana Pro model purportedly generate.

I’m glad Privacy Guides was able to establish itself long before AI was really a thing, because I’m not sure how anyone questioning the status quo like us but starting today isn’t just going to be labeled AI slop anymore. That’s exactly what the billionaires, politicians, and narcissists want of course, to be able to simply dismiss anything about them as “AI slop” with an air of plausibility, so they can control the narrative.

I’ve noticed this being the case with Grokipedia where it will only consider “primary sources” as valid information to make an edit as opposed to neutral secondary sources like Wikipedia relies on. Founders really want everyone to solely consume content straight from the horse’s mouth, so they can eliminate “bad press.” That’s part of why I wanted to do Privacy & Security News to focus on things like cool product announcements without the marketing fluff :slight_smile:

Was this comment written by some LLM? :thinking:

Kidding kidding :winking_face_with_tongue:

yeah I will never use AI to generate for that matter anything and I despise those that do, this is exactly the result on if you let it and it is literally making and consuming creation(s) devoid of human

At least AI Assisted projects like an article whose Grammar was checked with AI for example, they’re fine as at the end of the day they still got human value in them and you are consuming something made by a human and not an AI

related to this, I just found something fun to jog out to friends, it has local multiplayer bruh, rare

Relevant:

When it comes to digital art you are able to create speed paints to prove that it was actually created by a human so that can be helpful in dispelling the AI slop allegations, however perhaps even that could be artificially generated (I’m not sure)

Funny video I came across:

I hope you didn’t feel you foreshadowed but
AI Tracing is a thing and it tricks many people, Basically artists who trace off of an AI generated art.
So unfortunately speed painting is not necessarily enough evidence or that is it depends on how the speed paint looks like but yeah artists like them make it so that speed paint is not enough at this point

But I’m not best at explaining but Mujin does a very detailed explaination based on one of the legit artists did (and yeah don’t eff around with this artist or they can expose you clear as day) a Superb Detailed Google Docs exposé

If you wanna go straight to the superb detailed Google doc as it also just includes the aftermath and stuff as much as the video, here it is
