What I really find surprising is that there's a huge demand for AI writing detectors but (seemingly?) almost no demand for AI image/video detectors. I *definitely* would not have predicted that.

I think it's interesting and slightly surprising the degree to which AI image and video generation has been a "nothing happens" effect, compared to what one might have reasonably predicted in advance. now this may be my anecdotal experience firewalled off from "the bad internet",

pangram did actually just announce an image detection thingy but also it's just been naively harder to tell for longer with text

this is outside my personal experience but given the amount of "art not made with AI" (game code not made with AI...) discourse elsewhere, that I see traces of, I wonder if there isn't a lot of latent demand for this and it's just the detectors don't work well yet?

I think maybe driven by *monetizable* demand from teachers specifically? far fewer cases where students hand in an image/vid v.s. text

sure, a bunch of folks on social media would love to have a better image/video detector, but would they actually pay for it in the way that professors/admin will pay for text scanning
