Mozilla introduces a tool to determine whether every website you visit has artificial intelligence-generated content
Numerous AI platforms and applications are proliferating across all kinds of technological contexts and usage patterns. Millions of users have benefited greatly from them, while others now find them problematic.
The primary cause of all of this is that a lot of people are attempting to pass off information created automatically by the AI programs we discussed as their own. Almost any kind of text that we may encounter falls within this category. Naturally, there are applications for this automatic text generation in educational, professional, and personal contexts.
As a result, a number of software applications and initiatives that concentrate on identifying texts produced by AI are progressively becoming available. In these very lines, we will concentrate on this exact case. We might need to determine whether the content we read online was created by an AI or a person for a variety of reasons. Despite appearances, this can occasionally be a very difficult undertaking.
In order to assist you with these activities, we will now demonstrate an extension that you can install on the widely used Mozilla Firefox or Chrome browser.
First, we should keep in mind that this project was developed by Mozilla itself, and you can download it from this link.
As with other tools for these tasks, this plugin can analyze texts of 32 words or more to identify patterns, themes, and common messages in texts generated or processed by AI. It is worth noting that for all this it uses the ApolloDFT engine, owned by Mozilla itself, as well as a set of open-source detection models.
Unlike other similar tools, Fakespot Deepfake Detector is free and does not require registration or downloading any apps. After installing the extension, we can highlight any text on the sites we visit and request an instant analysis. The plugin will tell us whether the words are likely to be written by a human or whether they show AI patterns.
- Note: Currently only English texts are supported.
