    Doesn't mean the photo in OP was taken irl with a camera and not edited with AI or even straight up generated. I can use AI to make fake images of Tom Cruise. Posting a real photo of Tom Cruise doesn't mean my fake ones are real.

    There are tools.

    If AI could identify the tell-tale mistakes of AI it would not make them in the first place. AI detection tools are bullshit. There is either a watermark (and it's not hard to get rid of them at all) or AI detectors are just guessing... with about as much (or as little) accuracy as the AI generators creating the image.

    No one should ever take anything they don't personally know to be 100% accurate, as truth.

    Everyone lies. Especially on the internet.

    But not utilizing tools that are available, even if they are flawed, is just stupid. They still give you additional data points to form a more educated perspective.

    Afaik this actually isn't necessarily true, but yeah AI detectors aren't reliable and it's concerning that people are trusting the programs known for hallucinating to detect themselves.

    Who said I was trusting the result?

    There's a difference between being skeptical, and just being a contrarian. Saying you can't trust a tool because it isn't perfect, just shows you don't understand that no tool is ever perfect. It doesn't need to be perfect, it 's providing an additional data point for you to make a determination. That's why the tool gives a confidence score.

    We know the sign exists in that location, it's on Google Maps. And I've personally seen similar phrasing on these types of signs in real life before. Given those two facts, there's little reason to assume the AI detector is wrong here, even if it's not 100% accurate. It's just one additional data point, and probably more trustworthy than a random online comment saying "it's fake, trust me bro".

    People are stupid, especially random online commenters. How many times have you seen a comment that would look like it could be accurate to most people, but you have actual knowledge in the field and know that it is 100% wrong? It happens to you all the time, you just don't actively notice it because you don't have the personal experience in every topic to see when it happens.

    You're correct, and I apologize for the misinterpretation, but the phrasing of your initial comment ("This particular image is real" while citing only the AI detector tool as a seemingly authoritative source) definitely reads as if you are trusting it.
