LLM Prevention Plugins

Find yourself using AI too much, relying on it like a crutch? Use one of our extensions to make yourself take a step back and think anytime you go to use an LLM.

Inspiration

We were trying to think of ideas, specifically for the sustainability category, and the idea of getting people to use generative AI less came up to save energy. This developed into the idea of chrome extensions that prevent you from accessing LLMs.

What it does

Our website provides a description of the Chrome extensions we made and links to the Chrome Web store. As for our extensions, one redirects you to Google anytime you open one of the major LLM websites, one spams you with alerts when you open one of the major LLM websites, one makes it so that all of the HTML elements on LLM websites shake, and one makes it so you can't see the AI overview on a Google search, by forcing you to use the "Web" tab of google results.

How we built it

The website was made with React and Javascript and hosted on Github Pages. The Chrome extensions were made by first getting a template from ChatGPT and then writing Javascript to create the effects of the extensions.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out how to style a website with HTML and CSS, and how to host the website through Github Pages. We also ran into the problem that adding an extension to the Chrome Web store requires approval from Google and paying a fee.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating fully functional Chrome extensions.

What we learned

How to create Chrome extensions, and how to setup websites through Github Pages.

What's next for LLM Prevention Plugins

Fixing any bugs we find, publishing the Chrome extensions, and setting up the website to link to the Chrome extensions on the Chrome web store once they are published.
