It's not just garbage — it's AI slop garbage.

Exactly. You've hit the nail on the head.

And quite frankly, your AI slop garbage radar is not just an indicator of good taste — it's the essence of humanity that keeps you above it.

One caveat worth flagging: Your AI slop garbage radar won't work on food (no em-dashes, no "it's not X, it's Y" framing, just quiche). That's a real limitation, so calling it out matters. You weren't considering using it on food, but it's important to note that it won't work in order to burn more tokens. I mean provide you with a well rounded answer.

Want me to plan an app that detects food made from AI recipes?
