A few years ago, AI-generated art had obvious tells: melting fingers, garbled text, weird asymmetry. You could spot it. That's not reliably true anymore. The quality of AI image generation has improved to the point where the output can pass for professional illustration, photography, or digital art — not always, but often enough that it fools most people most of the time.
The difference matters in a lot of contexts. Sellers on print-on-demand platforms listing AI-generated images as original handmade work. Freelancers submitting AI-generated deliverables for work they were paid to create. Stock libraries selling generated images without disclosing they're synthetic. Product listings showing items that look nothing like the AI-generated photo used to sell them. These are all active problems that people run into regularly.
Print-on-demand and Etsy — this is where the fraud angle is most direct. Sellers generate AI art, list it as original handmade work, and collect money for something a tool produced in thirty seconds. Buyers paying for original art deserve to know what they're buying.
Social media portfolios — artists building audiences on Instagram or elsewhere sometimes mix AI-generated work with human work, or present AI output as their own without disclosure. For anyone hiring a designer or commissioning work based on a portfolio, the distinction matters.
Stock photo and asset sites — AI-generated images are flooding stock libraries. Some platforms label them, many don't. If you're licensing images for commercial use, knowing whether you're paying for a photograph or a generated image affects both the licensing terms and the ethics.
Game asset stores and design marketplaces — same issue as stock photos, with the added wrinkle that AI-generated game assets may violate the terms of certain stores or licenses.
Works on Etsy listings, portfolio sites, Instagram, stock photo sites, design marketplaces — any page in Chrome where you can see the image.
AI Art — stylized, painterly, or illustrated imagery that was generated by an AI tool. This is the primary category you're looking for when checking whether a portfolio or listing is using AI-generated work without disclosure.
AI Photo — photorealistic synthetic images. Faces, landscapes, product shots that look like real photographs but were generated from scratch. The deepfake category, also relevant for AI stock photos being sold as real photography.
Digital Art — CGI renders, 3D models, heavily processed photographs. Human-made work using digital tools. This category covers the vast majority of professional product visualization and commercial illustration that isn't AI-generated.
Real Photo — an authentic photograph with the characteristics of a real camera capture.
The confidence score matters. A 92% "AI Art" result is very different from a 54% one — Faux Spy shows you the number so you're not just trusting a label.
If your work has been used to train AI models without consent, that's a separate legal and advocacy issue — Faux Spy can't help with that directly. But if you're trying to verify that something being attributed to you or sold under your name isn't AI-generated, Faux Spy can check it the same way anyone else can.
More practically: if you're commissioning work from a freelancer and want to verify you're receiving genuine work rather than something typed into a prompt and passed off as original, run a check before you pay.
No — Faux Spy tells you whether an image is AI-generated and what category it falls into, not which specific generator produced it. Attributing an image to a specific AI tool (Midjourney vs. DALL-E vs. Stable Diffusion vs. others) requires a different kind of analysis that no tool does reliably at this point.
This is the hardest case for any detector. If someone painted most of an image by hand and used AI inpainting to fix one section, the result is ambiguous. Faux Spy will often return Inconclusive on heavily mixed work rather than commit to a wrong answer. An Inconclusive result doesn't mean "probably real" — it means the signal isn't clear enough to call confidently.
No, and Faux Spy uses separate categories for each. AI Art is imagery produced by text-to-image AI tools. Digital Art covers CGI, 3D renders, and digitally painted work — things a human created using digital tools without generative AI. The distinction matters for attribution, licensing, and honesty about creative process.
