Show HN: Training a model to identify AI web content from structure alone

#1 · paper · jochenmadler ·

A paper exploring whether AI-generated web content can be detected from page structure rather than text alone.

Most AI-content detection discussion centers on language cues, which are brittle once text is edited or paraphrased. This work shifts the signal to web structure, a different layer that may capture production patterns rather than prose style. If the approach holds up, it could matter for spam analysis, provenance research, and measuring how AI-generated pages spread across the web.
