Is there an AI image detector that actually works?
I just go with the highest score. If a site says 98 percent AI, I treat that as 98 percent chance it is fake and move on. The paid ones are surely more accurate than the free ones, so if your boss wants a tool, pay for the best-known one and trust the number.

I run social media for a small nonprofit, and last week a dramatic photo of a flooded street was about to go into our Friday post. I pasted it into three free detector sites. One said 94 percent likely AI, one said "probably human," and the third wanted an account before it would tell me anything.
I held the post, but I could not tell which result to trust, and my boss asked me for a tool we can rely on every time. I do not need a courtroom answer. I need something that tells me when to stop and ask questions before we share a picture with a few thousand people. Is there one tool worth bookmarking, or is the real answer a process? I would also like to know which results I can safely ignore.
