GPT-Image-2 fakes documents so well, even AI judges can't tell them apart

A new paper demonstrates that OpenAI's GPT-Image-2 can generate document forgeries that are virtually indistinguishable from authentic images, even to human inspectors. Researchers developed a dataset of 3,066 such forgeries and found that standard forensic tools and even GPT-Image-2 itself struggled to detect the AI-generated edits. This highlights a significant gap in current AI image detection capabilities for sophisticated document manipulation. AI

IMPACT Highlights a critical gap in AI image detection, potentially impacting document verification and trust in digital media.
