About
slop.graphics is built by Rais. It started with a domain name and one question: can a machine learn one person's idea of slop?
Whose taste is this
One person's, on purpose. An average of everyone's taste is how slop gets made.
Rais rated the first sites himself, one aspect at a time. The model's guess stayed hidden until he had answered. The sites came from design galleries, from Hacker News and from the places generated sites get posted. The latest are on the front page, with his scores.
How the model learns it
Nothing is fine-tuned. His ratings are turned into a written rubric, five levels for each aspect, in plain words. The model scores a new site against that rubric and shows what it saw.
A written rubric can be read, argued with and fixed. A trained model cannot.
What it costs
A scan is free. The full report will be paid per scan, priced to cover what it costs to run. There will be no monthly subscription.
What is not built yet
The full report, payments and accounts. A feed where anyone can rate. A model that agrees with Rais more often than it does now: the numbers are here.
If your site is here
Scores are opinions about a public page on the day it was captured. If you own a site and want it gone, ask and it is removed.
