Description

Tired of wondering if an image is AI? I built Fake or Real for e-commerce sellers, journalists & creators. Just upload any image - get instant result: REAL or FAKE (Midjourney, Flux, SD) + confidence score + details. We get scammed daily by AI product photos on Alibaba & Shopify. This stops it. Free: 10 checks/day. No signup needed to try. Built in Niamey, for the world. Would love your feedback Hunters!

Could you build this?

Partial Building the UI and calling an existing API is trivial, but an accurate, proprietary AI-detection model resilient to compression and novel generators requires specialized CV research.

What it would actually take: A production-grade detector requires training deep convolutional or transformer backbones (like CLIP/ResNet) on millions of real and synthetic images across various diffusion models and GAN architectures, alongside frequency-domain analysis (FFT/DCT). Maintaining robustness against image resizing, JPEG compression, and unseen generative models requires a dedicated computer vision research pipeline.
