Show HN: Is your product AI slop?

Industry news•

What happened

The Slop Calculator is a simple web tool that lets developers paste a prompt and an AI’s response to get a “slop score,” a quantitative measure of how far the output deviates from the expected answer. It highlights issues like hallucinations, irrelevance, or inconsistency, giving product teams a quick way to gauge the reliability of their AI features. By turning vague quality concerns into a numeric metric, it makes it easier to track and improve AI performance over time.

Why it matters

Having an easy‑to‑use slop metric encourages more systematic testing of AI outputs, pushing the industry toward higher reliability standards and giving users a clearer way to compare product quality.

Is this a big deal?
