PocketAI - AI Detection at Your Fingertips

A chrome extension that is used to detect AI-generated text quickly and readily.

Comment

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project was to allow teachers and students to combat AI-generated text. Many teachers must see if students are using AI, such as ChatGPT, to complete their assignments. This new generation of technology is taking away students learning the curriculum and putting their own thoughts in the text.

Additionally, there have been incidents of students getting failing grades on assignments due to false AI detections, and they do not have access to AI software so that they can check for themselves.

What it does

This Chrome extension is able to give a percentage of how much, up to 8000 characters, is AI-generated. When you input the text, the extension will calculate how much the text is Ai-generated as a percentage (100% is high AI usage, 0% is low/zero usage).

How we built it

We used HTML/CSS/Javascript for the frontend, and JavaScript again for the background files. We also used a machine learning model/API provided by sapling.ai and a Chrome extension SDK for local storage and event handling.

Challenges we ran into

A challenge we ran into was connecting the front end with our background files. Since all of us were new to building chrome extensions, we constantly scrolled through docs and looked through youtube videos until we were able to find our solution. We eventually rewrote the background file and got the AI detection set up and working!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are very proud of the entire thing working, especially the AI-detection system. It took us very long to build it. We are especially proud of the user interface with its modern design and easy-to-use capability.

What we learned

We learned how to program google chrome extensions as well as how to use machine learning tools and APIs.

What's Next for PocketAI - AI Detection at Your Fingertips

We will probably expand beyond Google Chrome, likely into other word-processing applications such as Google Docs and Microsoft Word. Additionally, we may be able to add more details, such as which specific lines are AI-generated.
