Show HN: Encypher – AI Text Detection Inspired by Wikipedia Guidelines

2 bobnerd 0 9/4/2025, 12:13:20 PM encypher.xyz ↗

I built Encypher, a tool that detects AI-generated text based on patterns recommended in Wikipedia's editor guidelines for spotting machine-generated content. I adapted these patterns into an automated tool that highlights which words or phrases match typical AI writing patterns.

Features: - Highlights words/phrases that match AI patterns. - Clear pass/fail evaluation of the text. - Free API

I’d love feedback from the HN community on the detection logic, UI, and API.
