Deslop Detector

Does this read like a chatbot wrote it?

Paste your text. Em dashes, “it's not X, it's Y”, lists of three, “delve” and a dozen other AI writing habits get underlined, and you get a slop score. It all runs in your browser.

Rewrite it with a local model

Erik Markus Kannike trained these habits out of Qwen3-4B and released it as qwen3-4b-deslop. If you run it with Ollama, this page can send it your flagged paragraphs to rewrite. Your text goes from this tab to your own computer and nowhere else.

  1. Get the model (2.5 GB):
  2. Start Ollama so it accepts requests from this page. Quit the Ollama app first, then:
  3. Connect, then rewrite. Chrome may ask to let this site reach apps on your device; allow it.

How the score works

Each habit is a regular expression with a weight. The score is the weighted count per 1,000 words, the same scale as the detector behind qwen3-4b-deslop, where careful human writing scores under 15 and the stock Qwen3-4B averages 121. This one is an independent take on that style guide; on the 80 sample answers in that post it averages 122 before de-slopping and 7 after (theirs: 121 and 13).

A regex can't tell good writing from bad. Writers used em dashes and lists of three long before chatbots did, so treat a high score as a reason to reread, not proof that a model wrote it.
