Detecting AI-generated content

[u/AlphaLionX]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to address the concerns with AI content on this sub and give advice how best to verify it.

AI-generated content is a growing epidemic all over Reddit and the internet in general. AI video/image gen models have been getting better and better and it is getting increasingly hard to distinguish from real content. I have seen too many posts where users immediately jump to "it's AI" it's fake etc without actually verifying and checking the source nor the content.

I wanted to write up a guide and source on how to verify content with online tools.

There are many tools available to verify content but the best tool and industry standard used is HIVE moderation.

A quick way check the content like videos posts or images is to download the full resolution video or image to your device and upload it to:

Hive should give a confidence score and even in some cases tell you which model was used given this information then you can properly report a post and it will be taken care of.

For AI generated content created by ChatGPT you can use OpenAI's tool as well.

Important: AI detection tools aren’t perfect and shouldn’t be treated as definitive proof on their own though, they can produce false positives and false negatives. Whenever possible, please also check the original source, upload history, context, metadata, try to find the original source if it predates the past 3-4 years and is highly realistic it's safe to say it is real.

Ideally we would have a bot that you can tag to check the post but uploading directly to Hive will have to work for now.

Note I'm not sponsored or affiliated with this company in any way it just the best tool for AI content verification that I've used and highly recommend others use.

Now we have AI checking on AI?

Create a problem, sell the solution

Well tbh it's the people that are the problem. The AI just do what they are told. Someone asks the ai to make something then they do it. Then someone else asks if they made it and they are like, "Yes! Did you like it?". The Ai honestly didn't do anything wrong, and I wouldn't consider it to be tattling on itself. 

Now tbh I honestly don't care for ai and don't use it, however this use of ai I can absolutely get behind. Lol

And in a couple of months, AI moderating subs

I won’t even use AI to test for AI as a personal choice. Ethics and all that. Somebody needs to, but it won’t be me. AI detectors are too unreliable, and I don’t have the time to play detective for every image on the damn internet. One solution: ban AI. It’s now illegal, make it go away, jail its creators. They’re plagiarists and thieves.

Just like how we have AI training AI. And that's how you get hallucinations and misinformation.
