New dataset tracks ChatGPT Images 2.5 usage and detector performance

A new research paper published on arXiv details a dataset and evaluation of image detectors following the launch of ChatGPT Images 2.5. The study addresses the ambiguity in attributing images to specific AI generators when a tool retains its public name despite underlying model changes. Researchers collected 3,478 images from 2,440 posts within 51.1 hours of the announcement, noting differences in content profiles across various sources like NightCafe. The paper also evaluates six image detectors, finding significant variations in their performance and false-positive rates on artwork, which complicates direct comparisons of detection capabilities.
