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.
