Question 1

Does AI Detective upload my images?

Accepted Answer

No. All analysis runs locally in your browser with Web Workers and Canvas. Images never leave your device; there is no backend upload API.

Question 2

Does it decide whether an image is AI-generated?

Accepted Answer

No. It surfaces provenance facts and forensic clues to support your own judgment. It never outputs an is/isn't-AI conclusion.

Question 3

What kind of clues does it provide?

Accepted Answer

Declared provenance (EXIF/software class, C2PA signature integrity, watermark/screenshot fields) plus descriptive measurements (FFT, noise, JPEG, hash) — evidence for review, not a verdict.

Question 4

Is AI Detective free and open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is free to use in the browser. Source code is on GitHub at https://github.com/bojitoday/ai-detective.
