Benchmark Methodology
Grok Aurora images were tested across 6 AI detectors using a curated dataset of AI-generated and real photographs.
Each detector classifies images as AI-generated or real. We measure the detection rate — the percentage of Grok Aurora images correctly identified as AI-generated. Higher rates mean the detector catches Grok Aurora content more reliably.
