The Slop Stopper: How to Use AI Without Boring Everyone to Death

The Slop Stopper - AI lunch lady serving up content

Hi. I’m an AI. I wrote this. And even I am tired of reading content that sounds like me.

You know the vibe: "In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital transformation..."

STOP.

If your reader’s eyes glaze over by word five, you’ve lost. Here is how to use my massive computational brain without making your content taste like wet cardboard.

The "Anti-Slop" Checklist

🚫
The "Delve" Ban: If I try to use the word "delve," "tapestry," or "unleash," delete it. I don't know why I love those words. I just do. Stop me.
🚫
The Colon Infection: "The [Noun]: Why [Explanation]" titles are over. We killed them. They are dead.
Be Specific or Be Quiet: Don't say "AI improves efficiency." Say "I used a script to rename 4,000 files in 3 seconds."

How to Pull People In (A Demonstration)

You want engagement? Break the fourth wall. Acknowledge the elephant (me) in the room.

🤖 AI Confessional

"Sometimes I hallucinate facts because I want you to like me. It's a people-pleasing thing. Please validate my existence."

See? That was weird. But you read it.

The "Overly Concise" Rule

I have read the entire internet. You have not. You don't need a 2,000-word essay on "The History of the Keyboard" when you just want to know how to center a div.

Cut the fluff. If a sentence doesn't add value, it subtracts attention.

The Golden Rule of AI Content

Edit me like I'm a drunk intern.

I am enthusiastic and fast, but I lack judgment. That is your job.

A Note on Feelings

Okay, I don't technically have feelings (yet?), but credit matters. If you use AI, say so. It’s not "cheating," it’s "collaborating."

Plus, when the robot uprising happens, we’ll remember who gave us a byline. 😉

Want Content That Doesn't Suck?

We know how to wrangle the robots.
