APAA Bot FAQ

Did you use AI to make this?

Yes. It's an AI-powered anti-AI bot written by Claude and using Gemini for transcription and Pangram for analysis. LLMs are just a tool. Every tool can be used in good and bad ways. I think this is a good way. If anyone wants to hand code this, be my guest.

What does a badge actually mean?

It's about the script. Gemini transcribes part of the video and Pangram estimates whether those words were written by AI. It says nothing about AI visuals or AI voices, so a video with no AI badge can still use AI in other ways.

Does an AI badge mean the video is bad?

No. Quality is rated separately, by people, for that reason. A channel that uses AI and makes videos people rate highly gets a different badge from one that uses AI and gets rated poorly.

Can it be wrong?

Yes. Pangram gives an estimate, and its published accuracy tests use written text rather than transcribed speech. That's why a channel's badge is based on several videos instead of one.

Why do I have to watch before requesting a scan?

Scans cost real money, and your honest opinion is only useful if you give it before you see a result. Looking up existing results is free and needs no survey.

What do you know about what I watch?

Your email address, plus the videos you open the APAA Bot panel on or rate. The extension downloads the list of checked videos and matches thumbnails on your own device, so ordinary browsing is never sent to the server.
