A post from Mignon Fogarty (npub13tr…zjt2) last week on AI checkers and their inherent unreliability got me curious.
Because a free service, with potentially unreliable results? We can test that!
So I did.
I looked at 7 free services for:
- false positives
- false negatives
- network traffic (ie, adtech)
The results are at times surprising, and at times not remotely surprising.
