Make a slop-o-meter

Log where the AI went in your video, song, game or app. Each line kicks the needle by its points; the score is out of 100, all the AI it could have used. Then share it: a link that shows the meter and sends people on to your work, or a video for your intro.

Where the AI went
Lyrics & scriptup to 15 pts

who wrote the words: you alone 0, your words with AI tidy-ups 0.25, written with an AI from your brief 0.5, an AI drafting from a one-line idea 0.75, AI unprompted 1

Direction & editup to 15 pts

treatment, staging, shot choice, the cut: an AI builds it from your notes 0.5, you only approve 0.75-1

Generated videoup to 15 pts

text/image-to-video models (Veo, Sora, Kling, Runway) or AI restyles of footage; code-rendered animation is NOT this

Generated music & vocalsup to 15 pts

a song or voices generated whole (Suno, Udio) is 1; your own recorded voice, instrument or demo lowers it

Generated imagesup to 10 pts

generated stills, plates, cast sheets, sprite sheets, thumbnails; real photos and hand-made art are not

Animation & render codeup to 8 pts

the engine, rigs, camera, physics and shaders written by an AI

Tracking, masks & depthup to 5 pts

AI models that read or touch up your footage: face/hand tracking, depth maps, masks, background removal, optical flow, upscaling

Motion graphics & lyricsup to 5 pts

karaoke, cards, titles, lyric timing from whisper

Sound effects & foleyup to 4 pts

synthesised or generated foley, whooshes, stingers

Research & critiqueup to 3 pts

fact-checks, reference hunting, Haiku judges, persona reviewers

Audio cleanup & stemsup to 3 pts

demucs stems, de-noise, patching a dropout, splicing takes

Audio masteringup to 2 pts

loudness levelling, EQ/compression, AI mastering services

How the score works

The most AI a piece of work can use is: AI wrote it, AI directed it, AI generated the picture, AI generated the sound. Those four weigh 15 each. Generated images and code come next, then the helpers (tracking, masks and depth maps, motion graphics, sound effects, research), and audio cleanup and mastering weigh least. Each use gets a level: a touch, half, mostly or all AI. Points are weight times level; the score is the sum.

Verdicts: 0+ HAND-RAISED 10+ A PINCH OF SLOP 30+ SLOP-ADJACENT 50+ CERTIFIED SLOP 70+ PRIME SLOP 90+ PURE TROUGH

Scale every level by how much of the finished piece that use covers. Overlays on a talk that's mostly your face don't make the talk mostly AI.
