GoKawiilThe Consensus launches rule-based 'AI tells' detector for its tech feed
The Consensus has built a lightweight detection tool that flags articles resembling AI-generated writing, integrating it directly into its site. Unlike commercial tools such as Pangram, which the publication already pays for but finds too costly to run on every submission, the new system relies on static rules comparing pre- and post-2023 writing patterns rather than machine learning. The tool labels content as merely resembling AI writing, not confirming it was AI-written, and the creator notes it has occasionally flagged his own articles.
