Show HN: Build an AI to Detect Scammers/Gurus

https://www.falsoai.com/
1•liam-chen•1h ago
I built this tool because I believe AI can be used to protect people from social engineering and influence/manipulation patterns.

In a way, it is similar to what an antivirus does for a computer, but applied to human cognition.

This simple project is mainly an MVP proof of concept.

I want to turn this project into an entire ecosystem to give people more control, detect PSYOPS, election manipulation, and give people more awareness.

Right now all the marketing companies are getting very good an influencing people, and this is going to get worst with LLMs.

All the innovation is going into marketing, and nothing is going into giving people more control over their devices and their lives.

I want to build this ecosystem to serve as a counterweight, ensuring we don't live in a future where big companies control people's behavior. (not gonna let them do that)

this is the website: https://www.falsoai.com/

these are some test examples that you can try:
