That authenticity detector is partly based on article length, I believe. I tried testing some posts, and they came out as inauthentic, I then just pasted a series of posts after one another, and the authenticity increased significantly.

Yes - since it's based partially on length and repetition, one could initially fool it by pasting the same machine-generated text twice in a row. They put in a cheap hack to prevent this by explicitly checking for it; I imagine it's still easy to fool.
