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.

Hey! 👋 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.
Solo developer that wants to improve the communication.
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?

Just a fun project, not sure if there's value beyond it

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.

is this just for fun?
Creating new language acquisition tools
Pretty much!
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.

Hey, I'm working on updating the website, I've added a separate stats page now!
Build SaaS boilerplate and tools for indie hackers
it's interesting project, it similar to check keyboard input or hand input
Thats cool, can you do it for news in general?
Creating new language acquisition tools
Maybe, do you have something specific in mind? As long as it's not paywalled and allows my script to read it, should work
Developer - who trying to solve real problems, controls ai agents perfectly
This is a much-needed tool for maintaining content integrity on platforms like Hacker News. Since you're offering this for free, do you have a plan to monetize the API or the detection data in the future?

I'm using the Pangram API. Not really sure how to monetize something like this. Just interesting data for now

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?

I'm just using the Pangram API, which should be pretty accurate

This is interesting!

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

Detecting AI in code is a different challenge I assume, but sounds interesting!
interesting project, pretty cool
A builder with a passion for solving real-world problems.
Nice one, I am read a lot articles on Hacker News
How do you validate the accuracy of the AI detection?
Creating new language acquisition tools
I'm using Pangram API, which claims 99,98% accuracy

Hey, there were some problems previously, should work now!
Has this been getting harder and harder?
