Abstract

Background: AI generated content (AIGC) detectors are a proposed solution to the problem of discriminating between real and AI-generated and edited images. In this study, we benchmark 8 commercial AIGC detectors and assess the effectiveness of two image transformations in bypassing the commercial AIGC detectors. See attached PDF file for full details.
