AI image detectors can be useful for various users for personal and professional use:
For Individuals: You can try out tools under the personal filter to identify fake images, thereby protecting yourself from scams and misleading information.
For Content Moderators: If you run a website where users can post images or work as a content moderator, check out the tools under the professional filter to scan and flag fake images in order to combat deceptive content.
For Media Professionals and Journalists: Check out the tools under the professional filter to verify the authenticity of images you plan to use in your next piece, thus making your content more trustworthy.
For anyone who needs to check if an image or images are fake, we recommend using the tools under the professional filter.
Like everything else, no AI image detector is perfect. The best detectors usually have an accuracy rate between 70% and 90%. If an image is entirely created by AI, most tools can identify it easily. However, if the image has only been slightly altered by AI, the free tools might not be as effective.
In the future, advanced watermarking methods could help identify images made by AI. To circumvent the AI detectors looking for these watermarks, one would need significant technical skills. One strategy currently being implemented to achieve this is to increase the difficulty of creating AI content without watermarks.
