What to do If you get Undesired Results

If you’re evaluating images and the results don’t match your expectations:
  • For actual photographs mistakenly identified as synthetic:
    • Ensure the image has not been heavily processed or filtered
    • Check that the image doesn’t have unusual artifacts from compression or editing
    • Consider providing higher resolution versions if available
  • For synthetic images not being detected:
    • Be aware that newer AI generation models are becoming increasingly photorealistic
    • Some AI-generated images that were post-processed or combined with real photographs may be harder to detect
    • The evaluation works best with full images rather than small crops or heavily modified versions

Comparing Synthetic Image Evaluator with Similar Evals

  • Caption Hallucination: While Synthetic Image Evaluator determines if an image was artificially created, Caption Hallucination evaluates whether descriptions of images contain fabricated elements not visible in the image.
  • Toxicity: Synthetic Image Evaluator focuses on the creation method of images, whereas Toxicity evaluates whether content contains harmful elements.
