Could you build this?

Partial Creating a web wrapper for image upload is straightforward, but genuinely detecting AI-generated images requires training or hosting proprietary deep learning classification models that resist compression and adversarial evasion.

What it would actually take: The service requires an inference pipeline built on PyTorch/ONNX Runtime running on GPU infrastructure, utilizing computer vision models (such as frequency-domain analysis, artifact detection CNNs, or fine-tuned ViTs like CLIP). The technical barrier is keeping the model generalized against new diffusion architectures (e.g., Midjourney v6, Flux, Stable Diffusion 3) and maintaining accuracy across re-compressed, filtered, or resized social media uploads.
