I decided to take a look at the AI image detection services available and found that not all are created equal. I was able to fool 4 our of 5 of them between 25% and 50% of the time with totally randomly selected AI generated and real images. SO basically I wasn't even really trying to fool them, as this was a very simple test that I figured would most certaintly detect all my attempts, they didn't.
I'm not here to drag the losers, but here are the results I found from the inferior attempts at AI detection...
Real 8mm Frames Detected as AI
AI Images Detected as Real
Now, let me be frank here...I'm not a noob when it comes to generating AI images. I have made over 200,000 images and many videos/animations with Stable Diffusion and other tools since version 1.0 was released years ago. For those asking, the AI images I made here are from doing Stable Diffusion Checkpoint and LoRA training using over 2200 images from 8mm frames from this 1947 Paris collection and the models to do this yourself are free and open sourced on my account here: https://civitai.com/user/ReplicantArmy ...have fun, get crazy with it!
The AI Image Detection Tool That Works...
There was one tool that I couldn't fool in the least bit. Every AI image was coming up as 99.9% certainty that it was AI generated and the real ones were at 0% AI.
These folks probably have spent some serious coin and time training their AI detection models as they were hands down ahead of everyone by a very long shot. The best one I could find is from https://hivemoderation.com/

Looking forward to hearing about other experiences using these AI detection services as the arms race has just started, surly even the best detectors will be challenged with better AI generation models. Stay frosty as only one thing is certain...the future is going to get even way stranger then anyone can imagine!
