Google's new web-based SynthID Detector opens AI-content checks to anyone who signs in, flagging images, video, and audio from Google, OpenAI, Nvidia, or Kakao models. It misses AI content without a SynthID watermark, such as output from Claude, Grok, and Chinese open-weights models, and cannot tell fully generated media from AI-edited media. Without a universal watermarking standard across all major model makers, a reliable way to detect AI content likely will never exist.
