What it does
Most AI detectors hand you a confident percentage - even when the evidence doesn't support one. AI or Authentic does the opposite: it layers C2PA provenance, SynthID watermarks and its own video model, and when the signals contradict it says "not decidable" instead of inventing a number. Paste a link (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) or upload a file. You get a calibrated result, a plain-language breakdown of what each check found, and a shareable certificate. Free, no signup.
Check for free whether an image or video is AI-generated: submit a link or file, run a forensic analysis and get an honest assessment with a shareable certificate.
Check social media images & videos for AI - free, honest, with a shareable certificate. AI or Authentic? inspects the media itself - not just a platform label. No detection is 100% certain. When the evidence isn't enough - e.g. with heavily compressed reposts - we deliberately say "inconclusive" instead of guessing. Better honestly unsure than wrongly accusing someone. More on this under Methodology & limits . We do not rely on a single model but combine several complementary signals: signature-verified evaluation of provenance records (C2PA / Content Credentials), our own trained model for videos, an ensemble of image forensic detectors, and a calibrated fusion of this evidence into a…from aiorauthentic.com

Hey HN! We're Ayman and Dylan, co-founders of Nuanced (https://www.nuanced.dev/). We want to share a tool we’re working on to detect fake and real images: https://trial.nuanced.dev/demo/. The UI is bare-bones but you’ll get the idea. Drag or upload an image and our tool will display the probabilities with which it thinks that the image might be AI-generated or not. If you want, you can click “No, it’s AI” to confirm that the image was AI-generated, or “No, it’s real” to confirm that the image was not AI-generated. Why we’re working on this: as AI-generated…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
