nce", "AI slop") using an LLM, with a dedicated AI-text and AI-image detector (fine-tuned Qwen 3 4B / Gemma 4 E2B LoRA for text, DINOv3 for images). It shows every removed post with a reason, has an on-device mode, and is free and open source (AGPL-3.0). Why replicable: The demand (people actively asking to remove AI content) is global and rising, and the detection models and code are open source. Bouncer is X-only and English-only on Chrome. A copy for YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest on the web, in Portuguese and Spanish, is technically simple as an extension. But several such extensions already exist and the leader is free. Monetization: Freemium extension: free basic filter; Pro around US$3/month for video/voice detection and more sites (hypothesis); labeled sponsor slot for human-made art marketplaces on the filtered-posts page. Build: 1–2 agent-weeks per site (content script per feed, detection API call, review screen, Pro checkout); stack: Chrome/Firefox MV3 extension; Vercel serverless detection proxy; open-source AI-image detector or a paid detection API; Stripe. GTM: Before/after feed screenshots; artists' communities in PT/ES; Chrome Web Store SEO ("bloquear IA no YouTube"); faceless demo GIFs.
