The release sparked a debate over the possible use of AI in the video’s production. Discussions across social media platforms questioned the authenticity of the footage, and in some cases referencing our AI image detector without including the necessary disclaimers stated on both the image detection page and our homepage.

It’s important to clarify that our machine learning models are developed using an extensive image dataset, but they do not extend to video frame analysis. Video content possesses distinct characteristics not present in still images, which could influence the detection accuracy.

As AI is an evolving technology, AI detectors shouldn’t be the only basis for determining if a video is AI-generated or not. Similar to other AI detectors, our tool is prone to inaccuracies. We’re constantly refining our models to keep them in line with the latest advancements in generative AI technology, with the aim of potentially enabling video analysis in the future.


In addition to relying on AI detection tools, we recommend incorporating other techniques like image analysis to spot any irregularities or anomalies. As AI technologies have surged in recent years, it’s crucial to be cautious about what we share online to avoid potential harm or misuse. 

As we conclude, we once again extend our warmest regards and wishes for a swift recovery to Kate Middleton and the royal family in these moments.
