De-Slopify — Remove AI Writing Artifacts

Core Insight: You can't do this with regex or a script. It requires manual, systematic review of each line. Slop has a mechanism: the text becomes simultaneously less specific and more exaggerated — rare concrete facts get smoothed into generic important-sounding claims. So the fix is never just deleting tics; it's reinstating the concrete detail the slop displaced. Human writers use most of these devices intentionally and sparingly; the problem is density and reflex, not any single occurrence.

THE EXACT PROMPT — Full De-Slopify

I want you to read through the complete text carefully and look for any telltale
signs of "AI slop" style writing; one big tell is the use of emdash. You should
try to replace this with a semicolon, a comma, or just recast the sentence
accordingly so it sounds good while avoiding emdash. This applies to emdashes
used as prose punctuation only: leave dash/minus characters alone when they are
doing non-prose work, such as in math formulas, code, CLI flags, numeric ranges,
or tables.
