Text-to-video AI output
Expected: Likely AI — High confidence
A 10-second clip generated entirely by an AI model from a text prompt. Contains typical AI artifacts: unnatural motion, inconsistent textures, and structural distortions.
Result
Score 82, Verdict: Likely AI, Confidence: High. Multiple signals detected across temporal consistency, texture, and structure.
Source: Created with an open-source text-to-video model for internal testing.
Limitations: This test uses one specific AI model. Results on other models (Sora, Veo, etc.) may differ. We cannot test against every AI generation tool.
Face-swap deepfake
Expected: Likely AI — Medium confidence
A 8-second clip where one person's face is swapped onto another's body. Contains boundary artifacts and blink irregularities.
Result
Score 71, Verdict: Likely AI, Confidence: Medium. Face-related signals detected at jawline boundary and eye region.
Source: Created with open-source face-swap software for internal testing.
Limitations: Face-swap quality varies widely. High-quality swaps with consistent lighting may produce lower scores.
Real smartphone recording
Expected: Likely Real — Medium confidence
A 15-second street scene recorded in natural lighting with a phone camera. No filters, no editing.
Result
Score 12, Verdict: Likely Real, Confidence: Medium. No significant AI-generation signals found.
Source: Recorded with a standard consumer smartphone, no post-processing.
Limitations: This confirms the detector does not flag all videos as AI. However, a low score on one real video does not guarantee low scores on all real videos.
Compressed social media reupload
Expected: Unclear — Low confidence
A real video that has been compressed multiple times, simulating what happens when content is downloaded and re-uploaded across platforms.
Result
Score 38, Verdict: Unclear, Confidence: Low. Platform compression warning triggered. Some signals detected but below threshold.
Source: Original real video re-encoded 3 times to simulate social platform compression.
Limitations: Compression is a major source of uncertainty. The same video at original quality would likely score lower (more clearly real).
Animated / motion graphics content
Expected: Likely AI — Medium confidence (potential false positive)
A 6-second animated clip using standard animation tools. Synthetic by nature but not AI-generated.
Result
Score 55, Verdict: Unclear, Confidence: Medium. Texture and motion signals detected consistent with synthetic content.
Source: Traditional 2D animation created with standard animation software.
Limitations: This is a known false positive scenario. The detector identifies synthetic visual patterns, which includes traditional animation. Users should consider content type when interpreting results.
