Ah, so it's useless then.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Wow, Mozilla making more useless garbage nobody asked for.
Made by people that either:
- don’t understand how reinforcement learning works, or
- are lying for publicity
Because there is not now, nor will there ever be, nor CAN there ever be, an effective AI detection tool.
That would be great, but AI detection doesn't work reliably at all.
Here's a study https://edintegrity.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1007/s40979-023-00146-z#Sec19
Sounds like a great idea, but a significant portion of 1-star reviews point out massive data collection issues.
More information necessary before I install this on my system.
I'd rather have a tool to detect intelligence in general, weeding out the stupidity regardless of who it comes from.
Quick review:
‘tis shite
I don't see any mention of whether this uses local models or cloud models. I'm not interested in sending anything I care about it into the cloud.
I think that I can decide better than an Ai tool if a text is written by an Ai. Not a fan of this. I find it weird to use an Ai tool, to detect Ai text. Also I wonder if those Ai fake tools can utilize Fakespot detection to improve the actual fakeness. They can train their Ai until Fakespot does not detect anymore.

They talk about their proprietary model, plus several other tools. Highlight any text online and request an analysis. Nowhere in the article, the download page and their Fakespot website is once mentioned if this is local and offline. So, I'm 99% sure the data is sent to their server for analyzing the highlighted text.
Oh man - right after I posted this, I got the DM others have reported from the Polish tech chick from Toronto, with links to her cool videos. I passed her message to this extension but it says it looks like Human text. Oh well.
AI detector can't detect AI. Is anyone surprised by this anymore?
Like others said: That is probably just "normal" spam
But also? This is the same logic as "AI can't draw hands" and all the other gotchas. We are in an arms race and have been for decades. Captchas have always been about "bots" and have increasingly been defeated by various forms of computer vision which are the basis for how a lot of "AI" works. And we are in the same place now.
I just think its almost impossible to detect AI, same way you are talking about how it is almost impossible to build a captcha that is both useful and bot proof.
The internet version of “the intelligence of the dumbest humans and the smartest bears overlaps significantly” trash can problem?
There's an entire category of machine learning dedicated to having two AIs "fight" against each other. One generates something while the other classifies it as either AI generated or genuine.
Anyway, this is a complete tangent. Just thought it was interesting. AI detector tools for LLMs aren't usually very accurate, unfortunately.
