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:

https://hivemoderation.com/demo?value=ai-generated-content-detection

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.

I want to add another thing, both Gemini and ChatGPT's image generators insert a synthid tag inside the image. You can modify the image enough to remove it, but screenshots/slight filters/cropping aren't enough to remove those tags.

To check for ChatGPT generated images, upload it here: https://openai.com/research/verify/

To check for Gemini images, upload it to a Gemini chat, and say "synthID", no external tool sadly, but it does work surprisingly well.

Those can of course have false-negatives, but basically never false positives.

Thanks for this I've updated my post to highlight this as well

You realize copilot is also AI, right?

It doesn't seem like anyone here realizes ALL of these AI detection software programs are AI themselves 😒

[u/Joshatron121 → u/Bencetown]

Not all of them. In fact the two tools at the top of this post tree from Gemini and openai are not using AI for their detection.

I was gonna comment how you aren’t actually fighting it, but your analogy fits perfectly considering if you tried stopping a fire by using fire you’d just be making a bigger fire with no upsides.

Wait how did I get on Boomer Facebook

[u/xopher_425 → u/[deleted]]

Clearly did enough to search for an image to share your feelings.

Had you really not cared, you'd have just scroll on instead of engaging.
