Google's SynthID Detector Now Free for Anyone to Use

Google's SynthID Detector is now publicly available, free, no sign-up wall. It checks images, video, and audio for watermarks tied to Google's generative AI tools. Practically, it only detects SynthID watermarks, so it won't catch content generated outside Google's ecosystem. For photographers worried about provenance or client disputes around AI-generated work, it's a free first check, but its scope is narrow and the source article is thin on detail about how accurate or reliable the detection actually is.
