Hilarious! I plugged in some paragraphs from press releases and it was spot on. I also appreciated the "or Scientist" part ... simply awesome!

"Bullshit Index :0.64 This reeks. I bet you're a PR-Expert, Politician, Consultant or Scientist. If there is a message, it's unlikely it will reach anyone."



Scientist?

I put in a page or so from a scientific paper I recently wrote and got 0.19.


Heh .. try putting in the first para from a scientific paper. I bet 10 karma points that this will have higher BS content than the rest. Similarly, the last para of the intro is also almost always content free.

Note: I'm a scientist too ... good to poke fun at ourselves, eh? :)


You have the causality backwards.


It would be neat if someone integrated algorithms like this into discussion forum software.
