A controlled audit on 1,500 images across seven generators finds that training-free detector AUROCs vary by up to 0.38 with backbone choice, preprocessing resolution, and noise sigma, and that score direction is hyperparameter-dependent rather than intrinsic.

DRIFT learns a structured invariance manifold from real images via one-class supervision on decomposed robust and fragile subspaces of a frozen VFM to detect AI-generated images through margin violations.
HydraPrompt uses an Asymmetric Prompt Adapter with fixed real prompts and adaptive fake prompts plus a Conditional Supervised Contrastive loss to achieve SOTA synthetic image detection on benchmarks.
Intermediate layer embedding sensitivity to perturbations distinguishes AI-generated images from real ones, yielding higher AUROC on GenImage and Forensics Small benchmarks than prior methods.
A training-free dual-system framework refines anomaly score ordering on uncertain samples from self-supervised talking head forgery detectors to improve detection performance.
