Faux Spy: Your AI Image Detection Companion for the Web

In an era where AI-generated content is everywhere, verifying the authenticity of images is crucial. Faux Spy is a browser extension designed to help users detect AI-generated images across the web. It acts as a detective tool for the AI age by analyzing images to determine if they were created by artificial intelligence. It works on any platform where images live, including Instagram, Pinterest, X, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, dating apps, news sites, and job boards.

Benefits

Faux Spy offers several tools to assist in investigations. The tool utilizes industry-leading detection models combined with custom heuristics to analyze pixel patterns, metadata, and contextual signals. It detects outputs from major generators including Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, and Leonardo AI. Instead of giving vague answers, it provides confidence scores to help users understand the likelihood of an image being AI-generated. The interface features a sleek dark navy and gold design with animated confidence bars. Pro subscribers can save every investigation to their personal case files to review history and spot patterns. Users earn badges such as First Catch and Master Spy as they investigate more images. The tool is designed with privacy in mind. It only sees the image URL you click on and does not store images or track browsing history. Results stay on your device.

Use Cases

There are three primary ways to investigate images. Users can hover over any image to see an investigate button appear. They can also hold the Control key and click any image for immediate analysis. Another option is to click the Faux Spy icon and choose a mode to investigate every image on the current page. This is useful for checking dating profiles on apps like Hinge or LinkedIn to ensure authenticity. It helps users verify images on news sites and job boards to spot potential scams. It is also helpful for content creators who want to ensure they are not accidentally using AI-generated images in their work.

Additional Information (ONLY include if available)

Faux Spy has over 10,000 scans run and is available on the Chrome Web Store. It works on any platform where images live. The tool utilizes Hive AI's industry-leading detection models. Accuracy runs between 90 to 95% for photos from major generators like Midjourney and DALL-E. For newer or more obscure generators, detection is harder which is why confidence percentages are provided rather than binary yes no answers. A result labeled Inconclusive does not mean the image is real but means the model lacks sufficient signal to commit. This often happens with heavily compressed images or photos taken at unusual angles where AI patterns are scrambled. Faux Spy collects almost no data and sends only the image URL to the detection API. It does not store images or track browsing history. An AI Video Detection feature is coming soon for a Pro Video tier.
