deedydas · x · 2026-07-30
The author tested Pangram's AI image detector against top posts from r/IsThisAI, achieving a 100% detection rate.
Instead of relying on metadata or watermarks, the tool analyzes image pixels directly and generates a heatmap. It effectively catches various AI-driven scams, including fake dating profiles, false advertising for pets and food, excuses like a broken-down car, and manipulative images like fake pregnancy tests or ultrasounds.
