Re: Automated Engine Analysis: AI or Human, Similarity To Stockfish
Cool, I hope it helps you to identify new engines that are just basically written by AI. Personally, I'ld exclude them from the main lists, but if you really want to test them, maybe a separate AI-slop testing list would be appropriate.

Re: Automated Engine Analysis: AI or Human, Similarity To Stockfish
It's probably easier to just give them a different colour in our lists. I'll speak to Kirill regarding it.

Its a continuation of Open source pedone chess engine, revenge based on CCRL color green code, definitely a free but closed source.
For Ginkgo santiago is private also based on CCRL color code.
In case this may help too, you can check revenge site above and visit ccrl blitz for ginkgo santiago
