Yes.

People do not want AI generated content without explicit consent, and "slop" is a derogatory term for AI generated content, ergo, people are willing to pay money for working slop detection.

I wasn't big on Kagi, but I dunno man, I'm suddenly willing to hear them out.

How about when English isn't someone's first language and they are using AI to rewrite their thoughts into something more cohesive? You see this a lot on reddit.

That’s one of the collateral damage in all this, just like all the people who lost their jobs due to AI driven layoffs.

Not all AI generated content is slop. Translation is a great use case for LLMs, and almost certainly would not get someone flagged as slop if that is all they are doing with it.

I would assume then, that someone can report it as "not slop", per their documentation: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/slopstop.html#reporting-...

They should honestly use a different tool. Translation is a space in which language models are diverse, competitive and competent.

If your translated content sounds like ChatGPT, it's going to be dismissed. Unfairly, perhaps. But consistently nevertheless.

They want to turn two sentences into four paragraphs.
