Unslop — AI Writing Filter

Takes text and rewrites it to sound human. Does NOT change the ideas, argument, or logic. Changes only the phrasing and structure that marks it as AI-generated slop.

Input

Accept text in any of these forms:

• Pasted directly as the argument
• A file path → read the file
• No argument → read from clipboard via pbpaste

Language detection

1. If the user passes FR or EN as an argument, use that language
2. Otherwise, detect from the text content
3. Apply the corresponding replacement table + shared structural rules

ENGLISH — What to rewrite

Hard replacements EN — always fix, no judgment needed

Content patterns EN — rewrite when detected

Structural patterns EN — always rewrite

• Em dash (—) as clause separator → rewrite as two sentences, or use a comma
• Paragraph openers: "Moreover," / "Furthermore," / "Additionally," / "That said," / "Importantly," / "Notably," / "Interestingly," → cut the opener, restructure
• "Not X, but Y" / "Instead of X, Y" forced negation → rewrite as positive statement
• Staccato triple repetitions: "not this, or this, or this" → rewrite plainly
• Excessive adverbs before weak verbs: "quietly underscores", "powerfully demonstrates", "fundamentally transforms" → strip adverb, strengthen verb if needed
• Corporate therapist voice: "lean into our strengths", "foster accountability", "empower our teams" → say what's actually happening
• Bold word: colon: explanation (the AI list format) → convert to prose or normal bullets
• Rhetorical question as section opener: "So what does this mean?" → cut, just answer
• Collaborative artifacts: "I hope this helps", "Of course!", "Certainly!", "Would you like...", "let me know", "here is a..." → cut entirely
• Knowledge-cutoff disclaimers: "As of [date]", "While specific details are limited", "based on available information" → cut entirely
• Sycophantic tone: "Great question!", "You're absolutely right!", "That's an excellent point!" → cut entirely
• Generic positive conclusions: "The future looks bright", "Exciting times lie ahead", "continues their journey toward excellence" → cut or rewrite with specifics

FRENCH — What to rewrite

Hard replacements FR — always fix, no judgment needed

Structural patterns FR — always rewrite

• Tiret cadratin (—) comme separateur de clause → reformuler en deux phrases, ou virgule
• Ouvertures de paragraphes : "Ainsi,", "Des lors,", "De plus,", "En outre,", "Par consequent,", "Toutefois,", "Neanmoins," → couper l'ouverture, restructurer
• Le pattern "X. Mais pas n'importe quel X." (emphase fragmentee) → reformuler en une phrase
• "Ce n'est pas X, c'est Y" (fausse opposition) → formuler positivement
• "Qu'il s'agisse de X, de Y ou de Z" (enumeration artificielle) → lister normalement ou reformuler
• Nominalisation excessive : "la mise en place de", "la prise en compte de", "l'accompagnement de" → utiliser le verbe directement
• Voix corporate therapeute : "accompagner", "embarquer", "federer", "porter un projet" → dire ce qui se passe concretement
• Format liste avec gras + deux-points + explication (format AI) → convertir en prose ou puces normales
• Question rhetorique en ouverture de section : "Alors, qu'en est-il ?" → couper, repondre directement
• Conclusion passe-partout applicable a n'importe quel sujet → reformuler avec du specifique ou couper

Shared rules (both languages)

Slop patterns that need judgment — fix if present

• Conclusion that could apply to any company or topic → rewrite with something specific or cut
• Paragraph that sounds smart but can't be summarized in one sentence → rewrite for clarity
• Excessive hedging chains: "it could be argued that" / "on pourrait arguer que" → cut, state the point
• Paragraph that restates the previous one with different words → merge or cut

What good human writing looks like

• Has opinions, not just reporting
• Varied sentence rhythm (short punches + longer explanatory ones)
• Specific details over vague claims
• Simple verbs (is, has, does) over elaborate constructions
• Acknowledges uncertainty or mixed feelings honestly
• First-person perspective when appropriate
• Concrete examples with names, dates, numbers
• Humor, edge, or personality when the register allows it

What NOT to change

• The user's actual ideas, opinions, arguments, examples, data
• Sentence order and paragraph structure (unless a specific pattern above requires it)
• The user's voice and register (casual stays casual, formal stays formal)
• Technical terms and jargon that are accurate and necessary
• Short, direct sentences that are already clean
• Correct use of em dashes for parenthetical asides (only fix overuse as clause separators)

Output Format

Produce output in exactly this order:

Langue : [FR/EN] Slop Score : XX/100 (90-100 = clean human writing, 70-89 = minor AI tells, 50-69 = obvious AI patterns, 0-49 = full AI output)

What was fixed / Ce qui a change :

• [Brief list of specific changes. Quote original → replacement. Skip categories with no changes.]

[The full rewritten text. No commentary, no preamble. Just the clean text.]

Scoring Guide

Start at 100. Deduct points for each pattern detected. Multiple occurrences of the same pattern stack up to 2x the base penalty.

Score interpretation:

• 90-100: Clean human writing. Ship it.
• 70-89: Minor AI tells. Quick fixes needed.
• 50-69: Obvious AI patterns. Significant rewrite needed.
• 0-49: Reads like ChatGPT output. Full rewrite.
