IncludedGoogle has made SynthID Detector publicly available as a free web tool to identify AI-generated text, images, audio, and video. The detector works across content created by Google's Gemini, OpenAI's ChatGPT, NVIDIA services, and other AI systems. Previously limited to journalists and researchers, the tool now reaches a general audience. Ars Technica and international outlets (ITmedia, El Tiempo, La Repubblica) confirm the October 7 rollout and note that OpenAI and Anthropic also use SynthID technology.
Where they diverge
Outlets agree on the core facts and timing. El Tiempo and La Repubblica emphasize the tool's free, user-friendly interface and breadth of supported AI systems; Ars Technica focuses on the expanded detector capabilities. No substantive disagreement on framing or interpretation.
