Extension summary

Creating deepfake videos is getting easier and easier. You don't need technical skills anymore to make a manipulated video. You just follow an online instruction, that's enough.

At the same time, the videos are becoming more and more realistic. Humans are far inferior to AI when it comes to recognizing deepfake videos. Therefore, it is now possible to mainipulate entire societies, since the naked eye can no longer recognize deepfakes. The question for everyone is how to protect themselves and others from this disinformation.

Part of the solution is to critically question and check if what you see is plausible. In addition, however, we need technical tools and have to fight AI with AI.

Really easy to use; just click on the mustachioed mascot while watching any youtube video to see if it's a deepfake. The history feature is pretty cool too; that way you can see which videos you've already analyzed. Awesome extension!
