For those tired of scrolling past walls of AI posts who wish to focus on honest thoughts and conversations, RealFeed discretely hides posts likely to be AI. It doesn't manipulate your feed, processes everything on-device, is FAST (so the original xp doesn't suffer) and allows you to control the sensitivity to your liking.
Why this extension?
The philosophy behind RealFeed is simple: most of Us are either tired of increasing AI generated content on our feeds or are worried we can't understand the difference between a real human interaction and an AI-led one. It's about going back to honest thoughts and conversations, being intentional and authentic about the people you choose to interact with. Would love to know which posts you hate the most and your opinions on paths for improvement
How it works (as of v1.1.0): it's purely static analysis, it doesn't use an SLM to classify text. It runs 10 rule-based text metrics entirely in the browser (no API calls, SLMs, ...) no data leaves the machine. It scores each post on things like sentence length variance, repetition, diversity, vocabulary fingerprints, etc. Each metric returns a 0-1 signal, weighted dynamically to allow any of the rules to activate.
Known Issues and what's next
Only English is supported for now (this can lead to a weird multilingual feed), must-have.
Testing against my own dataset yielded > 30% false positives on threshold ranges <= 45 and a very random experience on thresholds >= 60, so only levels between 45-60 are recommended - this shortens the operational range a lot. Likely the mean behaviour should differ from the tails for better results.
Some automated posts which can be relevant (like recruitment) are easily flagged.
Can expand into filtering out more things which are unrelated to AI, such as the infamous baity tactics: "Follow me and write 'XYZ' to get this set of tactics which cost me 100k to learn"
