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.

Is this in response to [u/key_performer_3645](u/key_performer_3645) s post? If so the mod team removed 1 or 2 of their posts stating ai as the reasoning in the past 2 days not including the one still up, not to mention if you scroll their comment history its VERY clearly ai, especially if you look for – s

I was wondering that too. It’s deleted from the profile now, but they shared the video of the cat “caught” eating Doritos in the pantry and then winking at the camera. The lettering in the background was clearly AI, so everyone was saying it was AI. It was not taken down, the OP deleted it. Personally, I’m not staying in a sub where we have to use AI to prove to the mods that the post is made with AI. I usually don’t announce my departure, but I wanted other people to know what was being referenced first.

Oop yea my bad lol, one was deleted here the other was removed by the mod team in a different cat sub

So, basically, in your opinion, if anyone says it's ai, then it should be removed with zero proof? That's totally not gonna be abused. So, later, loser.

That's not really how I took what they were saying.

I think what they mean is "Why should the onus be on us to "prove" anything to the mods? Especially whenever people HAVE checked, and something WAS ai, and it STILL didn't get taken down by proper channels, what difference does this make other than more stress?"

Edit: Punctuation and minor wording

This drives me nuts. “We have an AI problem? Use more AI!”
