Can I trust an AI detector to prove a picture, video, or essay is fake?
Reviewed answer
Detector scores can be wrong and should not be treated as proof.
- Look for evidence of where the material came from, including original files and publishing history.
- Do not accuse someone or make a financial decision based only on a detector result.
- Avoid uploading private documents or intimate images to unfamiliar detection sites.

A consequential decision rests on one score, or the detector asks for sensitive material without clear privacy terms.
