WhatA browser extension and mobile app that identifies and labels AI-generated posts in social media feeds, giving users a confidence score and the option to hide synthetic content.
SignalUsers are frustrated that social media is being flooded with cheaply-produced AI-generated content full of fabricated details, and most people haven't yet developed the literacy to distinguish it from real posts — creating a window for tooling.
