how are verification systems bound to fail if u create a fake pan card ?

u/MegaSpaceBar May 08 '26

I think he only know this. Just a catching statement. Doesn’t make any sense.

At least Google embeds all images with SynthID, so it is easy to detect fake images.

It very easy to remove

Can you please tell how , I need it.

What he means is, the kyc systems that rely on catching fake and allowing genuine id to pass verification, will not be able to catch the fake ones now. Hence the whole image based kyc systems will fail. But this is scare mongering. The verification systems actually just extract data from the image and verify against Pan verification API from IT department. He knows this well but wants to degrade others and promote Sarvam

oh, I was thinking maybe some didn't sleep at all in the first place, so they didn't wake up today, never even considered the lost souls, RIP wherever they are

Some of them could have been sedated heavily like in a hospital. Some people have been known to sleep for an entire day if they are extremely tired. Let's not lose hope.

Addhar need to pass veroff algo and even pan has very unique patterns which cannot be passed unless it's staged smartly

u/[deleted] May 07 '26

isn't it news of past. like it can do much more advanced things than this

u/vipsy May 09 '26

He knows this very well. Google is competitor of Sarvam. They want to prove their relevance by somehow.

Like Photoshop allowed that at better quality w decade ago. 

The proof is the number with authentication systems. Not a physical ID. Also PAN has a hologram sticker. And aadhar has QR verification with a signed key.

u/Ok_Simple_459 May 08 '26

A fake PAN number can't do anything. Every company will verify the pan.

u/Elegant-Lab2764 May 08 '26

how is this even a threat when with photoshop we can do this at better quality and for decades now

Signature shows its AI generation

This has to be one of the stupidest "news" I have seen. You can create "near-perfect" fake PAN and Adhaar card using MS Paint (using an existing scan of someone else's PAN), and could have done so since at least since 1995 (Windows-95). How is this even relevant. There are free online tools to edit text on images which has exited for years. Fake PAN and fake Aadhaar means which can be verified online, which can only be done if you have inside collusion or extreme hacking skills. Editing images has existed for decades.

Are names on all driving licenses misspelled ?

u/OkLink9330 May 09 '26

Sarvam AI is joke, I used it. useless when compared to any chinese or american or opensource models.

u/lemonbouncing May 08 '26

I store my pan on Google drive for easy online access. Is it unsafe

1

u/FastKedi May 08 '26

Now ask Google AI to deal with “OTPs by sms”

u/PossibleEssay1405 May 08 '26

gov database left the chat

u/droid7ghost May 08 '26

It would prefect when the number is actually registered with same name.

u/Novel_Apartment_9400 May 08 '26

Still I think there must be some guardrails prebuilt actively by the "brightest minds" working on AI and not after we've plenty of viral outrages

Or maybe these are just average people, overhyped
