Screenshots & Demo
Below is the present state of the extension popup, badge/badge-popup, and settings. Currently, the extension can run on Reddit and Twitter while using localized LLMs for AI text and scam detection.
Investi-gator is a Chrome extension that passively reads posts on social media platforms as they load, badging posts that contain AI-generated images and text, are likely bot accounts, and/or are potentially scams without you lifting a finger.
What it detects
As posts enter your feed, Investi-gator runs multiple light local AI models in the background for each post, generating badges for any post that exibits one or more of the four detection types below along with confidence and reasoning.
Analyzes images attached to posts and flags those created by generative models.
Checks post text for machine-written patterns to help you tell authentic posts from synthetic ones.
Weighs post and account signals to determine whether the poster is an automated or inauthentic account.
Recognizes scam, phishing, and spam patterns in posts and comments so you can avoid them before engaging.
Quick and Easy
No need to manually turn on, paste text, or upload images. Investi-gator checks your feed automatically and evaluates each post the moment it appears while quietly badging ones deemed suspicious.
Beneath the surface
A content script watches the social media feed and reads new posts as they render passively.
Each post's text and media are passed to the local models for analysis where they return it's classification and confidence for each type.
Any positive detection that is allowed by the user's personal settings and Investi-gator's requirements are badged and displayed along with the confidence.
When you click on a badge, the content scripts requests the reasoning for the positive detection for each type. This can range from LIME, SHAP, Grad-CAM, and more depending on the detection type.
From hiding high confidence posts to custom confidence requirements for badges to appear, Investi-gator contains many adjustable settings allowing you to use it your way.
