Naïve Exposure of Generative AI Capabilities Undermines Deepfake Detection
This paper demonstrates that the naive exposure of powerful reasoning and image refinement capabilities in commercial generative AI chatbots fundamentally undermines state-of-the-art deepfake detectors by allowing adversaries to use benign, policy-compliant prompts to generate high-quality, identity-preserving images that evade detection, revealing a critical structural mismatch between current threat models and real-world AI capabilities.
