I mean, sure. But what an absolutely insane predicate. "Not reducing the quality of the output substantially" is (as an AI might say...) load bearing there.

Other problems include: Signal to Noise Ratio going through the roof.

Is it? I guess look -- I'm an academic, I've read piles of articles such as these. Signal to noise, already not great.

Yes, I feel like there's room to improve things, I just strongly doubt that "using AI to detect AI" is a particularly useful thing to do here.
