SlopGuard

Protect your brain from the natural forces of AI slop.

Comment 1

Inspiration

We - Dimash (Dinmukhamed), Rasul, and Baran - were thinking about how AI affects our day-to-day life, and one thing that we agreed on is that AI is taking over our social media feeds since the dawn of OpenAI Sora and Google Veo. Nowadays you cannot even enjoy your usual brainrot memes without some AI recycling again human ingenuity, removing all its magic and straight up reducing our IQ.

That's why we wanted to provide our fellow meme connoisseurs and doomscrollers with a tool to finally pinpoint whenever they are fooled, tricked, and lied to when encountering the latest & greatest. SlopGuard is there to help.

What it does

Slopguard has 3 distinct elements that make the tool functional and convenient to use:

  1. ML Backend -> We have a custom detection model trained on public datasets and AI-Slop memes. This model can identify whether a video has certain features that are considered AI-generated, and tell us how likely the video is to have been AI-generated.

  2. Frontend -> A basic, but sloppy frontend to upload videos that our users are suspicious about. We can guarantee that our platform is AI-Slop integrated ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ™

How we built it

We used some snake oil, magic, and human ingenuity to come up with this architecture and provide users a fun and engaging way to check whether what they consume has been made by humans or not.

Dimash built the ML Pipeline, Baran the extension and project architecture, and Rasul the Frontend.

Challenges we ran into

We lost our fourth teammate to sickness, and needed to get into technologies we had never touched.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Dimash got himself into CNNs and came up with an amazing approach for training and testing models to detect Gen-AI videos. Rasul upped his design & frontend game, coming up with some super cool layouts and designs. And Baran tried himself out with some hidden Instagram API hacks to download videos.

But first and foremost, we stuck together as a team and pushed through to work on something fun and learn together! ❤️🫶

What we learned

  • Coffee doesn't fix everything
  • AI is definitely not gonna replace us
  • We can achieve anything!

Additional Feature in Developent

Chrome Extension -> To allow for users to seamlessly check whether videos are AI-generated, users can just press a button on Instagram videos, so that our platform is being opened directly with the video preloaded to find out whether it has been AI-generated.

What's next for SlopGuard

-> Deploying it to Open Web 🌐 -> Scaling to Stop the Slop 📈 -> Although it started as a fun idea, the range of possible implementations is vast, spanning from social media to legal matters 🛠️
