The idea of using AI to analyze screenshots and extract key patterns is brilliant, and contributing to a public database will definitely help train better scam detection over time. I’m excited to see how this tool evolves as more people use and contribute to it. It’s like building a collective brain to spot scams—impressive and practical! https://www.methodist-mychart.com

If I wanted to phish for personal information that I could use for other attacks, I would set up a public service where people could send all their apparent scams and then go looking for all the personal data that is leaking through.
I could even make it seem legit by using the collected data to block any of my competitors, and only “accidentally” allowing through the attacks that I make or that are made by my real customers.

Thank you for leaving a comment, appreciate it! I'm trying to understand what you're saying.
It seems like you are suggesting our database (public service) could be used for our own benefits? By "our own benefits", you are suggesting https://antiphish.ai can take advantage from the screenshots users uploaded, because now we know what scams are running hot in the market, and then we can cross check what works and what does not work.
And because this is a Chrome extension, we can now use the insight we've collected to block other scam attacks and only deliver the scam attacks that AntiPhish.AI makes or AntiPhish.AI's customers make. By customers, you mean other scammers that has a professional relationship with AntiPhish.AI, with the purpose of delivering effective scams using AntiPhish.AI's insight.
I really like your way of thinking, I'm pretty sure you won't fall for scams easily, because you surely do have a sharp mind and good at connecting the dots.
The truth about AntiPhish.AI is, we've been working in the security industry for many years, and always wondered how it feels like to have a company of our own. Especially tech company, and because helping others to spot scams seems like a valuable and profitable business, that's why we chose to pursue this path.
While we can write good softwares, but we're not so good at marketing. This is why we created this tool, this post, after learning the fact that one of the things we can do for marketing a business is creating free tools.
That's how this idea comes alive, no crazy 3d chess agendas, just plain, SEO marketing effort, with a hope to provide some values for people that could fall victims to scams.
I hope this clears up the intention of why we created this tool. Cheers and have a great day!

You know how would this be extremely useful? If it was built into the browsers (like the deceptive website warning) and into chat apps - and it would warn real time, as the scam happens. I guess there are some value in this form too, but it's more like after-the-fact analysis for the majority of the users (you either know right away that it's a scam, or you start thinking later "oh... was I just scammed? let me try investigating".
Of course I realize the privacy questions this raises... but still.

That's indeed a good idea, we definitely share the same thought process as you, because we built AntiPhish.AI exactly in the way you described it. It is a Chrome extension specifically for gmail inbox security, it gives red flags when it see any scam attempts.
About the privacy concerns, we gave a lot of thought about it as well, for now we just pass everything to openai and leave nothing in our system, but in the future we think the best way to handle privacy is open source AntiPhish.AI so that everyone can self-host their own anti-phishing solution.
