Verdict for docs.kernel.org
HAND-CRAFTED — slop score 3/100
This one comes back clean. Docs.kernel.org scored 3 out of 100, and the single flagged item, one em dash in a sentence about user-oriented documentation, is the kind of thing a human technical writer does without thinking twice, not a sign of generated copy. There's no purple gradient hero, no beta pill, no stacked marketing triads, just plain reference material written for people who already know what a kernel is. I'm confident in the hand-crafted verdict here. The kernel docs team gets credit for writing like engineers talking to other engineers, which is exactly what this page needed to do.
Findings
- Em dashes — Em dashes are the single most reliable punctuation tell of LLM copy. Human marketing copy almost never uses them; models reach for them constantly.
