de-slopify
De-Slopify
Overview
De-slopify is a methodology for removing telltale signs of AI-generated content from documentation, prose, and code. LLMs produce statistically regular output with characteristic vocabulary, punctuation habits, and structural patterns that make text and code feel inauthentic. Some patterns appear over 1,000x more frequently in LLM output than human writing.
When to use: Before publishing READMEs, after AI-assisted writing sessions, during documentation reviews, when reviewing AI-generated code for over-engineering, before committing prose or code that an LLM touched.
When NOT to use: On code logic or algorithms where correctness matters more than style. On technical specifications where precision outweighs voice. On content that was already human-written and reads naturally.
Quick Reference
| Category | Pattern | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Punctuation | Emdash overuse | Semicolons, commas, colons, or split into two sentences |
| Phrase | "Here's why" / "Here's why it matters" | Explain why directly without the lead-in |
| Phrase | "It's not X, it's Y" | "This is Y" or restate the distinction |
| Phrase | "Let's dive in" / "Let's get started" | Delete; just start the content |
| Phrase | "It's worth noting" / "Keep in mind" | Delete the hedge; state the fact |
