How I Built an Open-Source Browser Extension to Detect AI Slop on YouTube

Описание и применение

Расширение для браузера, которое мгновенно отмечает видео на YouTube, созданные ИИ, используя облачные вычисления и кэширование, чтобы пользователи могли быстро избегать «AI slop».

Задача

YouTube users are bombarded with AI-generated videos (“AI slop”) that offer little value, making it hard to identify genuine content quickly.

Результат

The extension achieves sub‑50 ms thumbnail badging using edge caching, enabling users to instantly see AI‑generated content probability across YouTube feeds.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Load extension content scripts in MAIN and ISOLATED worlds.
• 2. MAIN script extracts captions via YouTube’s player APIs and posts a message.
• 3. ISOLATED script receives transcript, sends batch query to Cloudflare Worker.
• 4. Cloudflare Worker checks D1 cache; if miss, runs Sapling AI classifier and heuristic filters.
• 5. Worker returns AI probability score to extension.
• 6. Extension renders badge on thumbnail and opens popup with sentence heatmap if needed.

Доказательства
