A developer has rebuilt an AI code comment detector using publicly available data, improving upon a previous version that relied on private data. The new classifier achieves a balanced accuracy of 77%, correctly identifying human-written comments 73% of the time and AI-generated comments 80% of the time. The tool offers a feature activation view, allowing users to see how specific parts of the text contribute to the classification, and provides calibrated confidence percentages for individual judgments.
