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

说明与用途

一款浏览器扩展，利用边缘计算和缓存技术即时标记YouTube上的AI生成视频，帮助用户快速避开低价值内容。

问题

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

结果

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

工作流

• 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.

证据

Stop the Slop is 100% free and open-source under the MIT license.
