it's okay. It's simplistic in how it works: it looks for noise and probably sharpness. I'm assuming it's an algorithm, so it can generally be correct unless an AI generated image is given a bit of noise / film grain and reduced sharpness. Then the app will say it's most certainly real.. I did the opposite with a real photo: maxed denoise and sharpness in Lightroom and this app said it's AI generated. CGI is a mixed bag. Usually it's detected as real. So long as there's film grain I guess

Hey David, We've added C2PA verification since you reviewed (verifies AI provenance through embedded credentials), which catches more cases. Would you be willing to test the latest version and share what you find? Happy to give a month of pro as thanks!

The app is good good at identifying ai generated images but sometimes it can mark a real image as AI generated but other than that it is very quick and impressive, This is an impressive app. My thanks to the Developer.
