• Abstract: Photos serve as a way for humans to record what they experience in their daily lives, and they are often regarded as trustworthy sources of information. However, there is a growing concern that the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology may produce fake photos, which can create confusion and diminish trust in photographs. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate agents for distinguishing state-of-the-art AI-generated visual content. Our study benchmarks both human capability and cutting-edge fake image detection AI algorithms, using a newly collected large-scale fake image dataset Fake2M. In our human perception evaluation, titled HPBench, we discovered that humans struggle significantly to distinguish real photos from AI-generated ones, with a misclassification rate of 38.7%. Along with this, we conduct the model capability of AI-Generated images detection evaluation MPBench and the top-performing model from MPBench achieves a 13% failure rate under the same setting used in the human evaluation. We hope that our study can raise awareness of the potential risks of AI-generated images and facilitate further research to prevent the spread of false information.

  We propose a zero-shot entropy-based detector (ZED) to detect AI-generated images. Inspired by recent works on machine-generated text detection, our idea is to measure how surprising the image under analysis is compared to a model of real images. ZED achieves an average improvement of more than 3% over the SoTA in terms of accuracy.

  We show that AI-generated images introduce an invisible relevance bias to text-image retrieval models. The inclusion of AI-generated images in the training data of the retrieval models exacerbates the invisible relevance bias. We propose an effective training method aimed at alleviating the invisible relevance bias.

  We investigate whether human-guided synthetic face detectors can assist non-expert human operators in the task of synthetic image detection. We conducted a large-scale experiment with more than 1,560 subjects classifying whether an image shows an authentic or synthetically-generated face. Models trained with human-guidance offer better support to human examination of face images when compared to models trained traditionally using cross-entropy loss.

Considering that AI-based face manipulation often leads to high-frequency artifacts that can be easily spotted by models yet difficult to generalize, we propose a new adversarial training method that attempts to blur out these specific artifacts.
