‘Slopfix’: A software team is charging up to $10,000 to clean up AI-generated code, with the help of *checks notes* AI
PC Gamer reports on a software team offering a paid service, dubbed "Slopfix", that charges clients up to $10,000 to clean up messy, unreliable code generated by AI tools. The story's angle is the irony that a business has emerged to fix the problems created by AI-assisted "vibe coding", highlighting growing concerns about the quality and maintainability of machine-written software.
The apparent twist noted in the headline is that the team reportedly uses AI itself to help carry out the clean-up work. Beyond the headline framing, the substantive detail from the supplied text is limited, as the retrieved page consists largely of PC Gamer's site navigation, membership sign-up prompts and menu links rather than the full body of the article, so specifics such as the company's name, methods and client examples are not available here.
