Hacker News AI Detector

Tool to detect if a Hacker News story is AI-Generated.

Visit

As an avid reader of Hacker News, I've started to notice some posts being blatantly AI-generated. Sometimes, there would be comments accusing the author of generating AI slop.

I started to wonder, how many posts are actually AI-generated these days? I started collecting data and labeled the posts using AI text detection tools.

This page mirrors the Hacker News front page, with posts labeled either Human, Mixed, or AI-Generated.

How do you validate the accuracy of the AI detection?

Has this been getting harder and harder?

Nice one, I am read a lot articles on Hacker News

Really interesting use case! The stat that 16% of Hacker News front page is AI-generated is eye-opening. Would love to see a trend graph showing how this percentage has changed over the past year.

Thats cool, can you do it for news in general?

Well, in today's world 99% of content is AI. But what the point of value of this product is? How can I use this to make some value for myself? Or it's like a fun project?

Quite a fun project, but how do you take into account that really technical docs even if human written often get flagged as AI-generated?

Interesting angle. A confidence score plus a short note about likely false positives on satire or edited posts would make the result much easier to trust and share.

You could also create an AI detector for open-source projects.

It's hard even for certified AI detecting algorithms to sometimes differentiate between AI and human. Do you have any mechanisms in the algorithm that tries to fix that?
