Free AI slop checker: find the signs of AI writing
Seodraft has released a free web-based tool designed to identify common linguistic markers of AI-generated text in written drafts. The application analyzes content against twelve specific rules to detect patterns such as filler phrases, excessive hedging, and generic structural elements. By providing specific feedback on which rules were violated, the tool helps writers refine their prose to sound more natural and human-like.
- ▪The AI slop checker is a free utility available on the seodraft.app website that scans text for signs of AI generation.
- ▪The tool evaluates content based on twelve named rules, ten of which are deterministic checks for specific linguistic patterns.
- ▪Detected issues include the use of filler phrases, contrastive negations, and generic closing headings like 'Conclusion' or 'Final thoughts'.
- ▪The analyzer also measures structural metrics such as sentence variety, paragraph length, and the total word count to flag thin content.
- ▪Each identified issue is accompanied by an explanation of the broken rule and a suggested fix for the writer.
