Description

VirusTotal for AI slop 🛡️ SlopTotal is an open-source, self-hosted AI text detector. Instead of relying on one model, it runs 23 independent detection engines in parallel locally on CPU to compute one calibrated score. ⚡ 23 Engines: Blends neural classifiers, perplexity & heuristics 🔒 100% Local: Runs on CPU (4-8GB RAM) with zero API calls 📚 Validated: Tested on pre-1920 prose to fix false positives 💻 Open Source: MIT-licensed with live demo & Docker setup

Could you build this?

Partial Connecting off-the-shelf NLP models to a local web interface is doable, but orchestrating and calibrating 23 independent engines efficiently on CPU requires ML optimization expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires Python with FastAPI, PyTorch, and ONNX Runtime running quantized transformer models alongside n-gram statistical and perplexity evaluators. The main technical hurdle is parallelizing execution across CPU threads and memory constraints without severe latency, as well as developing a calibrated ensemble weighting scheme. ML systems engineers are needed to optimize model quantization and prevent memory exhaustion under continuous scanning.
