Slop Hound

Is that video actually written by a human, or is it AI slop? Slop Hound is a pocket slop-o-meter for the age of AI content. Let it listen to any video, podcast, or livestream and it turns the audio into text right on your device (not perfectly), and scores how "AI-written" the script sounds on a 0–10 slop scale. Or paste in any text and get an instant read. It’s a fast, fun gauge of the tells that AI-style writing leans on: tired clichés, hollow hype, filler phrases, and the peculiar structural rhythms language models love. WHAT IT DOES • Listens to audio around you - a video on your TV, a podcast, a lecture - and scores it live as it transcribes. • Paste any text - an article, a script, an email - for an instant slop score. • Highlights the exact phrases and patterns that got flagged, right in the transcript. • Splits the score into "phrase tells" (clichés and buzzwords) and "structural tells" (tricolons, negation cadences like "it's not X, it's Y," strings of short punchy sentences, paragraphs where every sentence starts with “Because…”). • Tap any flag to see exactly what tripped it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Speech-to-text happens entirely on your device. Audio never leaves your phone. • No account, no sign-up, no tracking. A SECOND OPINION FROM AN AI (OPTIONAL) Slop Hound is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, PBC. "Claude" and "Anthropic" are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC, used only to describe the optional third-party service the app can connect to with your own API key. • Add your own Anthropic API key to enable an "Analyze with AI" button for a more nuanced read. • You see exactly what the AI flags - and the cost, a few cents of your own API usage, right in the app. • Toggle between the on-device score and the AI's take. WHY YOU'LL USE IT • Provide evidence for your "is this AI?" arguments with friends. • Check your own writing (or was it really ChatGPT’s?) before you hit publish. • Train a sharper ear for the patterns of machine-made content. • Or just have fun roasting the sloppiest corners of the internet. A FAIR WARNING This doesn’t detect AI voices, it only analyzes the writing. And it’s a rough gauge of writing style, not a verdict. Plenty of thoughtful humans lean on the same clichés, and a high score doesn't prove anyone used AI. Take it in the spirit it's meant: a fun read from your friendly robot Slop Hound.
