The start-up said it would share its deepfake detector with a group of disinformation researchers so they could test the tool in real-world situations. https://t.co/adClzwokow
— The New York Times (@nytimes) May 7, 2024OpenAI announced its new tool on May 7, 2024. However, it only opened its use to a select group.
The testers include “research labs and research-oriented journalism nonprofits” that will provide feedback through the company’s Researcher Access Program.

Other modifications can reduce its performance. However, the current version has huge potential issues.
Article continues after this advertisementFor example, OpenAI only tested the deepfake detector with DALL-E 3, meaning it may not work against newer models.
People may also choose other third-party AI image-creation tools that may bypass the detector. Nevertheless, such tools are important in maintaining quality information on the Internet.

There are no reliable AI image detectors at the time of writing. Stillluck9, you can identify AI-generated pictures with these steps from another Inquirer Tech article:
Read the title, description, and comments section. Search the title online to find duplicates and check the description for AI indicators. Also, the comments may mention the artist used AI. Check for AI art watermarks. Some AI image generators like DALL-E leave watermarks on their pictures, letting everyone know their origin. Look for odd-looking parts in the image. Some AI photos may have weird features, such as a blurred background, unreadable text, or misshapen faces. Use a GAN Detector for spotting AI art. Generative Adversarial Networks enable AI art creators to turn stored data into new content. Some online tools help you spot pictures from these networks.
