alt Hacker NewsI've been wanting something like this for a while now but as an extension that runs locally. Just something I can click to get a quick response telling me if the article seems like ai so I can focus on the writing without needing to spend energy on remembering ai styles and detecting obvious ai. I'd be pretty happy to see something like that built straight into firefox.
Ultimately slop is so pervasive that I'm wasting a fair amount of time vetting text and it's affecting my ability to simply enjoy reading. I keep getting part way into an article before realizing it's low quality ai writing. Being able to get a quick heads up that it looks like ai before starting would save me a lot of energy even on articles I decide to try reading because it cuts down on mental overhead.
It sounds like you might be overthinking it. Slop is pretty noticeable at a glance, and it doesn't really matter if it is AI slop or human slop. On the other end, I have probably enjoyed an article or two that was made partially or entirely by AI and I'm not sure what the downside is.
