Is PublicAI Data Hunter safe?
PublicAI Data Hunter reads the tweet you're replying to and sends its text to its own servers to generate a reply for crypto rewards.
On twitter.com and x.com, a content script captures the author, tweet ID, text, and timestamp of the tweet you're replying to and posts it to the vendor's backend at beta.publicai.io to generate an AI-written promotional reply. The generated text is pasted into the reply box, and after you post it, the final reply text is sent back to the same backend to record the submission for the app's crypto-reward program.
