Highlights

  • Rule-based checker validated by two AI annotators: precision 0.84-1.00, recall 0.93-0.95; no human annotation.
  • All 11 commercial humanizers changed or dropped at least one number, date, name, or quoted span in 35-65% of documents containing one.
  • Jev, asked one zero-shot question, separated human originals from humanized rewrites with AUROC 0.864 (0.827-0.902).
  • Jev scored 0.18-0.22 AUROC higher than Binoculars, Fast-DetectGPT, and RADAR, but called 24% of human originals AI at a 0.5 threshold.
  • Checker and per-item results are released; hypotheses, data rules, and analyses were frozen before main runs.
