Slop Evader: Browser Extension Blocks AI-Generated Content, Delivers Pre-2022 Human-Created Results
Slop Evader is a browser extension developed by Tega Brain designed to help users avoid AI-generated content, often referred to as "AI slop." Available for Chrome and Firefox, the tool functions as a search filter that returns results only from web pages published before November 30, 2022—the date of ChatGPT’s first public release. Since the emergence of large language models like ChatGPT, the internet has seen a surge in AI-generated text, images, and videos, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish human-created content from machine-produced material. Slop Evader addresses this issue by leveraging the Google Search API to limit search results to content published prior to the widespread availability of generative AI. This ensures that users are presented with material that was likely created by humans, offering a more authentic and original source of information. The extension is particularly useful for researchers, writers, educators, and anyone seeking high-quality, human-driven content in an era where AI-generated material is flooding online platforms. By filtering out post-2022 content, Slop Evader helps users reclaim a portion of the web that predates the AI boom, preserving the integrity of human expression and creativity. As concerns grow over the authenticity and originality of online content, tools like Slop Evader provide a practical solution for those who value human-made knowledge and storytelling.
