Google yesterday launched SynthID Detector, an online tool that “helps you make informed decisions about what to trust” on the internet. It does this by identifying AI-generated content, whether that’s an image, video, or audio file. If Google needs a special tool to help people identify one of the internet’s major features, maybe that feature isn’t as useful as it’s being made out to be.
