Want to find out if the text you’re reading online was written by an real human or spat out by a large language model (LLM) trying to sound like one? Mozilla’s Fakespot Deepfake Detector Firefox add-on may can help give you an indication. Similar to online AI detector tools, the add-on can analyse text (of 32 words or more) to identify patterns, traits, and tells common in AI generated or manipulated text. It uses Mozilla’s proprietary ApolloDFT engine and a set of open-source detection models.

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.

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.

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
