How We Detect AI-Generated Websites

Vibe identifies various indicators of AI-generated websites and vibecoded sites:

Purple/Blue Gradients - The iconic gradient color scheme commonly used in AI-generated designs
Excessive Emojis - Overuse of emojis, especially sparkle emojis, in content
Generic Taglines - Common placeholder phrases like "Transform your business" or "Innovative solutions"
Card Layouts - Generic card-based layouts with hover effects
AI-Style Comments - Generic code comments, TODOs, and placeholder text in source code
Missing Meta Tags - Lack of proper SEO metadata and Open Graph tags
Outdated Copyright - Copyright years that are 1-2 years behind the current year
Inconsistent Styling - Multiple border-radius values, 1px borders, and inconsistent design patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I detect AI-generated websites?

Vibe automatically detects AI-generated websites by analyzing visual patterns like purple/blue gradients, excessive emojis, generic taglines, AI-style code comments, and other content markers. The extension provides a confidence score indicating how likely a site is to be AI-generated or vibecoded.

What is a vibecoded website?

A vibecoded website is a site created with AI tools with minimal human input. These sites typically feature purple/blue gradients, excessive emojis (especially sparkles), generic taglines, AI-generated code comments, missing meta tags, and inconsistent styling patterns.

How accurate is AI website detection?

Vibe is pretty accurate, but can produce false positives and negatives. Generally, with more content, it will find more indications of vibe coding. The confidence score reflects the likelihood that a site is AI-generated based on detected patterns, and you can adjust the sensitivity mode to reduce false positives.

Can it give false positives when detecting AI websites?

Yes, false positives are possible. Some legitimate websites may share visual patterns with AI-generated sites. You can adjust the sensitivity mode in settings (strict, normal, or lenient) to reduce false positives. The lenient mode is recommended if you're seeing too many false positives.

How do I adjust the sensitivity?

Open the extension options page and navigate to "Detection Sensitivity". Choose between Strict (more aggressive detection), Normal (balanced), or Lenient (fewer false positives). You can also adjust the verdict threshold to control when a site is marked as "Vibecoded".

Does it work on all websites?

Vibe works on most websites, but cannot analyze Chrome internal pages (chrome://), extension pages, or some restricted sites. The extension automatically runs when you visit a page, and you can manually re-evaluate by clicking the refresh button in the popup.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. All analysis happens locally in your browser. Vibe does not send any data to external servers. Your browsing history, analyzed pages, and settings are stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API.

Is the extension free?

Yes, Vibe is completely free to use. There are no premium features, subscriptions, or hidden costs.

What patterns does it detect?

Vibe detects visual patterns like purple/blue gradients, excessive emojis, generic taglines, card layouts, and content markers such as AI-style code comments, missing meta tags, outdated copyright years, and inconsistent styling patterns.

Can I disable keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. Go to the extension options page and uncheck "Enable keyboard shortcuts" in the Keyboard Shortcuts section. This will disable the R, T, and S shortcuts in the popup.
