I tested Google’s new SynthID detector on AI slop. There’s a big catch
“In the meantime, is that video of the puppy nuzzling the baby real or AI? Your guess is as good as mine.”
What happened
A PCWorld writer ran a viral video of a puppy nuzzling a baby through Google's new public tool for spotting AI-made media. The tool reported only that it found no hidden watermark, and gave the same answer for clips of kittens queuing for baby bottles and a man drinking from an overturned Coca-Cola truck.
