Hmm... I think this one at Indiana University is the one I was thinking of: Inauthentic paper detector
This post comes out as inauthentic, with a 35% chance of being authentic.
However, Robin Hanson's most recent post comes out as inauthentic, with a 16% chance of being authentic, so maybe this doesn't work as well as I remember.
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.
