Limits and detection
- Checking tool from the makerA way the maker offers to check a file for its traces.
Google Cloud's AI Content Detection API, in Private Preview, estimates whether an image is AI-generated from pixel-level artifacts, for Google and third-party models.

Quoted passage How it works; Request access; Disclaimers
To identify AI-generated or modified images from Google and third-party models, you can use the AI Content Detection API." "The API processes the payload using machine learning models that analyze pixel-level artifacts, noise patterns, and spectral anomalies. The response aggregates findings from the models. Note: Support for C2PA metadata detection is not included." "The AI Content Detection API is in Private Preview." "The API provides a probabilistic estimate and doesn't guarantee definitive identification.
- What the maker says about limitsIn the maker's own words.
Google Cloud documentation says the AI Content Detection API gives a probabilistic estimate only, based on pixel-level artifacts, and does not include C2PA metadata detection.
