VERIFY THE EVIDENCE / NOT THE VIBE

Spot AI. Check the source.

There is no single reliable trick for telling whether media was AI-generated. Our guides prioritize source verification, context, and independent corroboration.

Choose the media type

Use these interactive checklists as a starting point, not a definitive authenticity test.

Important: A strange-looking video can be real. A flawless-looking video can be synthetic. AI detectors can produce false positives and false negatives, especially on edited or compressed content.

The 30-second reality check

Pause before sharing.
Identify who originally published it.
Look for an independent confirmation.
Examine whether the content was taken out of context.

Suspicious urgent request?

If someone is demanding money, a password or a one-time code, stop and verify the request independently. The voice and face alone are not proof.
