AI slop checklist.
Before you send a reply, check whether it sounds like a person in the thread or an assistant performing helpfulness. If it has too much setup, structure, or closure, cut it down.

Questions people ask
What is AI slop?
AI slop is writing that feels generic, over-produced, or obviously machine-shaped. It often sounds helpful but not socially real.
What are the biggest tells?
Long setup, balanced phrasing, generic empathy, neat conclusions, and replies that sound like a presentation instead of a message.
How do I fix it quickly?
Cut the first sentence, remove the summary ending, add one specific detail, and make the reply shorter than feels comfortable.
