GPT Image 1.5 — AI Detection Benchmark

What is GPT Image Generation?

GPT Image Generation refers to OpenAI's native image creation capability integrated directly into ChatGPT and GPT-4o. Unlike DALL-E which operates as a separate model, this represents OpenAI's evolution toward unified multimodal AI where text and image generation work seamlessly together.

The current implementation combines the conversational intelligence of GPT-4o with advanced image generation, allowing for iterative refinement and context-aware creation directly within chat conversations.

Key Features

Native Integration

• Built directly into ChatGPT interface
• No separate tool switching required
• Conversational image refinement
• Context-aware generation

Technical Capabilities

• Resolution: Up to 1792x1024 (landscape) or 1024x1792 (portrait)
• Quality: High-detail photorealistic and artistic outputs
• Speed: Fast generation (typically under 15 seconds)
• Accuracy: Excellent text rendering in images

Unique Advantages

• Iterative editing: "Make the sky bluer" type commands
• Context memory: References previous images in conversation
• Style consistency: Maintains style across multiple generations
• Text in images: Industry-leading text accuracy

C2PA Content Credentials

OpenAI implements C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) content credentials for all generated images:

What is C2PA?

• Industry standard for content authenticity
• Cryptographically signed metadata
• Includes generation information
• Machine and human verifiable

Implementation

ChatGPT-generated images include:

• Manifest: Signed by OpenAI
• Generator info: Model identification
• Timestamp: Creation time
• Claim generator: OpenAI attribution

Verification

• Check at contentcredentials.org
• Use C2PA verification tools
• Look for "cr" icon in supporting apps
• API-based verification available

Detecting ChatGPT Images

C2PA Detection

Condition	Detection Rate
Original file	99%+
Re-saved (preserving metadata)	95%+
Screenshot	0% (metadata lost)
Social media upload	Variable

Statistical Detection

Even without C2PA metadata:

• AI pattern analysis: 70-85%
• Style recognition: 65-80%
• Artifact detection: 60-75%

Combined Approaches

• With C2PA: 95%+ detection
• Without C2PA: 65-85% detection
• Heavily processed: 50-70% detection

GPT Image Generation vs DALL-E 3

Feature	GPT Image (ChatGPT)	DALL-E 3 API
Interface	Chat-integrated	API calls
Iterations	Conversational	New requests
Context	Full chat history	Per-request
Pricing	ChatGPT subscription	Per-image

Removing Detection Markers

C2PA Metadata Removal

C2PA metadata can be removed through:

1. Screenshot capture - Creates new image without metadata
2. Re-saving without metadata - Many editors strip C2PA
3. Format conversion - Some formats don't preserve C2PA
4. Social media upload - Many platforms strip metadata

Statistical Pattern Removal

1. Image reconstruction - Process through another AI
2. Spectral editing - Target frequency patterns
3. Neural filtering - AI-based pattern removal
4. Multi-step processing - Combine techniques

Effectiveness

Method	C2PA Removal	Statistical Reduction
Screenshot	100%	0%
Metadata strip	100%	0%
Basic processing	100%	10-25%
Advanced processing	100%	40-60%
Neural reconstruction	100%	50-70%
