AI slop detection requires some fine developed intuitions that come from decades-long exposure to both journalism/marketing slop as well as high quality literature. Because AI was aligned out of the hell by low level journalism newly graduates.

That's why it always falls back to the same tired formalistic clichês, like "Not this, but that", rampant baiting and sensationalism, because that's what would get high marks from your typical low-rent liberal arts annotator.

Man, I have nothing against liberal arts per se. On the contrary, I think that a tragedy of our time is that people disconnected from things like literature, history and art in the name of over-specialization and an excessively utilitarian approach towards education.

But I am very critical of what pass as the modern liberal arts academic establishment. To avoid a very long text, let's say that my view is heavily influence by Ortega y Gasset.
