Never seen that tool before, but it has an obvious bug: paste in markdown-formatted text with `-` bullet points, and it told me a sign of AI writing was: `Repeated sentence openers · 3 sentences opening “-”` Now, the text I pasted in so happened to really be AI-generated, but I don't think using markdown bulleted lists is a reliable sign of AI-generation. | ||

A reliable sign of AI writing is the middot in the tool's output. But that is to be expected, given the tool's author. | ||

Interesting! I tried it with unordered Markdown lists (both nested and single-level) and I couldn't reproduce it. Would you mind sharing a small repro? In some ways I guess the brittleness is to be expected since IIUC, it uses regexes under the hood. | ||

A coworker assumed I shared AI slop because I wrote about 200-300 words of text with nice formatting: different heading text levels, monospace formatting for variable names, used different highlight colours, etc. Can’t even write pleasant technical documentation by hand after memorizing hotkeys without being falsely accused… | ||
