Seems like a very low-quality AI-assisted research repo, and it doesn't even properly test against Google's own SynthID detector. It's not hard at all (with some LLM assistance, for example) to reverse-engineer network requests to be able to do SynthID detection without a browser instance or Gemini access, and then you'd have a ground truth.

I read a lot of comments on HN that say something is not hard, yet don't provide a POC of their own or link to research they have knowledge of.

I also read a lot of comments on HN that start by attacking the source of the information, such as saying it was AI assisted, instead of the actual merits of the work.

The HN community is becoming curmudgeonly and using AI tooling as the justification.

		becoming? under most posts that even in passing mention using AI tools there are multiple people raising their noses talking about how much they hate AI use
