AI Analysis

●●●BangerBig BrainWizardry

Peer-reviewed linguistic signals + local heuristics beat the LLM-wrapper-on-LLM trap.

Strengths
  • •Grounded in published research (Kobak, Liang, Goedecke, Jakesch)—14 specific stylometric signals instead of API guessing
  • •Local-first architecture avoids API dependency and cost creep; LLM mode is optional augmentation, not core
  • •Transparent scoring (green/amber/red badges with breakdowns) beats closed-box confidence scores
Weaknesses
  • •Detection accuracy unproven on real LinkedIn posts—no ROC curves or false-positive rates shared
  • •LinkedIn API TOS risk: browser injection may violate terms; unclear if extension survives policy review
Target Audience

LinkedIn users skeptical of AI-generated content; researchers studying LLM detection
