Reality Check
AI Image Reality Check
Use a cautious workflow for visual clues, source tracing, metadata, and context without pretending visual AI detection is certain.
Image verification is a workflow, not a visual guessing game. AI generation, editing, old-image recaptioning, missing source context, and fake accounts can look similar.
This page does not produce a certainty score. It helps you slow down, preserve context, and move toward stronger evidence.

Diagnostic output
Choose the closest symptom to see likely causes and a first reversible test.
Symptom, Cause, Action Table
| Symptom | Possible cause | First action |
|---|---|---|
| Visual artifacts | AI generation, editing, compression, or low-quality repost. | Use source checks before certainty. |
| Dramatic caption | Old image, wrong location, or missing context. | Reverse search and date-check. |
| Urgent account | Impersonation or scam pressure. | Verify through known channels. |
| No source | Repost chain or deliberate ambiguity. | Ask for origin and preserve the link. |
Fast checks
- Separate the image from the claim made about it.
- Search for earlier copies and different captions.
- Check account history and known-channel confirmation when people or money are involved.
- Preserve screenshots and URLs before confronting or reporting.
What not to change yet
- Do not declare an image fake from visual clues alone.
- Do not upload sensitive private images to random detector sites.
- Do not engage with urgent money or identity requests before known-channel verification.
Assumptions and limitations
Visual AI detection is not reliable enough for certainty.
Metadata may be stripped, altered, or absent; provenance signals are useful but not universal.
