Detecting AI slop with regex and Stephen King
SMRTR summary
Tacheles is an offline, open-source writing tool that detects AI-generated text patterns — called "slop" — directly in your prose, pinpointing exact lines rather than returning a vague percentage score. It flags overused AI vocabulary, excessive em-dashes, padded phrasing, and passive voice using rules drawn from Stephen King's writing principles, then lets you make the fixes yourself to preserve your own voice. It currently supports English, Russian, and experimental Hebrew.
