I built a linter for AI writing tells, and the judge is a model that can't write a sentence. Sniff Test reads a draft one paragraph at a time and asks Jev ten yes-or-no questions. Is the claim hedged three times. Does the closer just restate the paragraph. Is there a not-X-but-Y turn. Is there a cost figure with no price next to it. It comes back with one probability per rule in about a fifth of a

Jev is asked ten yes-or-no questions, including whether a claim is hedged repeatedly, a closer restates the paragraph, or a cost figure lacks a price. The source also says the results come back “in about a fifth of a”.
