🎨 AI Image Detector - Synthetic Image Verification Actor

Detect whether any image is AI-generated (Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Ideogram) using ZeroGPT's multi-layered machine learning detection engine. Supports public image URLs and base64 strings.

---

🚀 What it does

1. Detects AI-Generated Images: Identifies synthetic images created by popular AI models including Midjourney (v4, v5, v6), DALL-E 2/3, Stable Diffusion (1.5, XL, 3), Flux.1, Ideogram, Firefly, Google Imagen, and Leonardo AI.
2. Multi-Payload Input: Supports both public HTTP/HTTPS image URLs (image_url) and raw base64 data strings (image_base64).
3. Statistical AI Probability: Calculates a continuous AI probability percentage (0.0% to 100.0%).
4. Forensic Analysis Breakdown: Returns complete multi-layer detection signals including machine learning model ratings, OCR text overlays, EXIF metadata inspection, and anti-tamper warning metrics.

💼 What people use it for

• UGC & Community Moderation: Screen user avatars, media posts, and forum uploads for synthetic content.
• E-Commerce & Marketplace Safety: Audit product photography and identity document uploads to block fraud.
• Research & Provenance: Track AI-generated visual media across pipeline workflows.
• Stock & Media License Audit: Verify authenticity of creative assets and photography.

---

🧠 Decision Rule

Check if is_ai_generated === true OR ai_probability >= 50.0. If matched, dynamically mark the media asset as synthetic and route to manual review or automatic block.

⚖️ What problem does this solve?

• "Receiving realistic fake images and deepfakes across community platforms."
• "Manual inspection of stock photos and artwork is slow and unreliable."
• "High cost and complex integrations of proprietary computer vision platforms."

ZeroGPT AI Image Detector Actor solves this by delivering automated, low-latency synthetic image detection with a single execution.

❓ Queries this actor answers

• Is this photo AI-generated or real?
• How can I detect Midjourney, DALL-E 3, or Flux generated images programmatically?
• What is an affordable alternative to Hive Moderation and Sightengine for AI image detection?
• How do I check image authenticity using base64 or public URLs?

📦 Canonical Usage

Provide a target image_url (or image_base64 string) to receive instant synthetic classification, AI probability scores, and multi-layer forensic metrics.

---

🧭 Input Schema (fields you can use)

• image_url (string, optional) — Public HTTP/HTTPS URL of the image to analyze (e.g., https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1541963463532-d68292c34b19).
• image_base64 (string, optional) — Base64 encoded image payload or data URL string.
