OpenAI says it can detect images made by its own software… mostly

OpenAI is testing a new tool to identify images generated by AI and touts a 98 percent success rate. That rate, however, declines when the image has been modified.

According to data provided by OpenAI, the system only managed to successfully classify five to ten percent of images made by other AI models. In other words, the tool will likely recognize an image of Joe Biden asleep in the Oval Office surrounded by baggies of white powder, but not after the creator slaps on a bunch of angry text and Photoshops in a crying bald eagle or whatever. The company, along with bestie Microsoft, has poured $2 million into something called the Societal Resilience Fund, which hopes to expand AI education and literacy.
