Could you build this?
Partial The front-end and API wrapper are trivial, but developing a reliable AI image and deepfake detection model requires dedicated machine learning research and constantly updated adversarial training.
What it would actually take: To build an actual detector rather than wrapping a third-party commercial API (like Hive or Sightengine), one needs to train computer vision models (e.g., frequency-domain CNNs or ViTs) on massive datasets of both real photos and latent diffusion / GAN artifacts. The hard part is generalization and robustness against compression, resizing, and new generative model architectures (e.g., FLUX, Midjourney v6), which requires ongoing ML research.
