> human slop is typically easy to detect by grammar and other clues

I'm not sure this is true. There have been a lot of times where I see a very well made video or article about some interesting topic but when I go to the comments I end up finding some corrections or realizing that the entire premise of the content was poorly researched yet well put together.




Most of the human-made slop you'll see is going to be, at least on its surface, high quality and well produced since that's what goes viral and gets shared. To that end, I agree with you.

It is worth noting though that the other 99% of human-made slop doesn't make it to you since it never gets popular, hence why hard to filter human-made slop can seem over-represented just through survivorship bias.


Hence the word "typically".

I am noticing it in work emails a lot now - poor performers cutting and pasting chatgpt content with no validation.
