What AI Slop Is and How to Catch It in Your Own Content Our first-ever guest is here, and she's literally our pod mom. Kristin Lawton, Chief Brand Mixologist at District Brand Bar, joins Kinsey and Joyce to break down AI slop: the words, phrases, and sentence structures AI repeats in everyone's content. Everyone can spot it in other people's copy. Almost nobody can spot it in their own. Kristin walks through the tells, the copy that deserves word-by-word scrutiny, and the $1,000 lumber disaster that inspired her AI Slop Detector. If you use AI to write your emails, captions, or sales pages and still want them to sound like you, this one's for you. You'll walk away knowing exactly which tells to hunt for, where to spend your editing energy, and how to train your AI to cut the slop before it ever reaches you. In this episode: • The unhinged check-in, with shingles makeup questions, a bitey Goldendoodle, Joyce's BTS homework, and Kinsey getting called out for not being unhinged enough • Her AI Era® is officially a registered trademark • What AI slop actually is, and why you can see it in everyone's content but your own • The tells hiding in plain sight, from the em dash pile-up to "honestly," "quietly," "genuinely," the number 47, and why it's always Tuesday • Why "it's not X, it's Y" negation framing works against you in sales copy • The copy hierarchy, meaning which content gets word-by-word scrutiny (emails, homepage, sales pages) and which doesn't • Design slop, and why every AI-built website looks the same until you iterate with mood boards and screenshots • How pitting Claude and ChatGPT against each other gets you a better draft Chapters: 00:00 — Her AI Era intro 00:05 — Welcome our first guest, pod mom Kristin Lawton 01:11 — Meet Kristin, Chief Brand Mixologist at District Brand Bar 02:28 — Unhinged check-in, shingles makeup and a bitey Goldendoodle 04:58 — Joyce's BTS homework and Kinsey's summit setup 08:22 — Her AI Era is officially trademarked 08:46 — What is AI slop? 11:15 — The em dash, "honestly," and "quietly" 13:08 — How to use AI without the slop 16:34 — The copy hierarchy and slop in your ideas 20:04 — The AI Slop Detector and the $1,000 lumber disaster 24:59 — "It's not X, it's Y" and why negation framing backfires 27:50 — Why AI loves the number 47 and Tuesdays 28:59 — Design slop and why every AI website looks the same 33:10 — Why AI writes your emails worse 34:02 — Pitting Claude and ChatGPT against each other 36:06 — The word "genuinely" 37:43 — Kristin's 11 AI tells video and where to get the Slop Detector Find Kristin Lawton: District Brand Bar: https://districtbrandbar.com Instagram: @districtbrandbar YouTube: https://youtube.com/@districtbrandbar AI Slop Detector: https://menu.districtbrandbar.com/ai-slop-detector 11 AI Tells video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCq4ChYdbaE --- 🎁 GRAB OUR FREE STUFF The Claude Skills Playbook — our personalized playbook that shows you exactly which Claude Skills would save you the most time in your business. → Get the playbook: https://skillsplaybook.com --- ✨ COME NERD OUT WITH US Her AI Club™ is where women entrepreneurs go deeper with AI — together.
