Is this a repost? I’m sure I saw a post like this already a few days ago.

I see, is there a reason why you don’t just link to the GitHub repository (or better yet, use Codeberg)? Seems a bit strange to have the logo there when it goes to a different domain. This project looks like it could be useful.

Edit: I found the contribute pages, I’m assuming you did it this way for those that wish to stay anonymous (e.g: Tor visitors).

Keep in mind that this project is likely vibe coded, or at least seems very AI assisted. (Copilot is mentioned in the .gitignore file and this was built by a single person in about 4 months) A bunch of security issues have already been opened.

Edit: @just_another_person@lemmy.world already mentioned this, my bad. 😄

You’d like the DeArrow browser extension.

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

[…]

Titles can be any arbitrary text. Thumbnails are screenshots from specific timestamps in the video. These are user submitted and voted on. By default, if there are no submissions, it will format the original title to the user-specified format, and set a screenshot from a random timestamp as the thumbnail. This can be configured in the options to disable formatting, or show the original thumbnail by default.

I’m not sure if this also applied to the (now deleted?) original repository since this is a fork, but I agree that the name of the project is misleading.

The readme file mentions the following:

The intention of this list is to raise awareness of AI/LLM usage in popular open-source software.

So it is supposed to be a list of software that uses AI to any degree and leaves it up to the reader what to do with said information.

And to counter your argument:

If you are using the app, you know if it has AI features or not and if you have not noticed, why are you bothered?

It isn’t always clear whether features use AI unless you actively look for it. Some people prefer avoiding software that uses it to a certain or any degree.

If you think this is a bad list, then I believe that’s because you misunderstood it’s purpose, though I don’t necessarily blame you.

You could open an issue to suggest changing the name.

I agree, I think it would be better to use something like dependabot or renovatebot so you can know of and apply security updates right away.

I suppose tone matters when trying to get your point across. 😄

This sounds hard to believe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Telegram eventually ended up deleting someone’s entire “backup”.

Did you build this with AI/LLMs? Also, where can I find the source code?

It does seem odd to leave comments like https://github.com/... in. But aside from that, some of the code is also written in an unusual way imo.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I personally think it should be disclosed somewhere when AI/LLMs are used and optionally to what extent.

I don’t see how that relates to my question. 🤔 I’m asking because you say it’s "open source and community-maintained" on the landing page.

How would you even verify "did this project use an LLM"?

There are different ways, checking if a CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or SKILLS.md file is present is often enough. Obviously this isn’t bullet proof but it’s better than no disclosure in my opinion.

disclosure tag doesn't change whether the code is accurate, safe or good.

I didn’t say it has to be a tag, what I had in mind was a simple disclosure in the post description explaining how you used AI for the project (or just a simple "this project is AI assisted" if you dont know the extent, e.g: projects that aren’t yours).

I don’t necessarily have an issue with experienced developers using AI to write the code for them which is what I mean with "when not used correctly". I do take issue with inexperienced developers that create privacy related software without proper knowledge of what their code actually does (AKA vibe-coding) and going around promoting it as "privacy-friendly" and "secure" while that may not be the case.

Maybe there are better ways to go about this though, which is partly why I created this post.

What about the source code? I couldn’t find it on GitHub.
