The Art of Deceiving A.I.-Detection Tools
Companies are developing tools to detect A.I.-generated images, but their effectiveness is still limited. The New York Times tested five detection services using synthetic and real images and found that while the tools are advancing, they can still be fooled. A.I.-image detectors rely on analyzing pixel patterns but struggle with altered or low-quality images. The detectors also have difficulty distinguishing between real and A.I.-generated content. Experts warn that as A.I. continues to improve, it will become increasingly difficult to detect fakes, posing risks to society's ability to discern fact from fiction.
