Synthetic-photo signals
Looks for patterns associated with generated or manipulated images.

Usable evidence
Reports when the model can or cannot make a meaningful assessment.
Verification context
Keeps the result separate from claims about identity or intent.
Reading the result
Use the score as a signal, not proof
A suspicious result should trigger more verification, not an accusation. Search for earlier copies, inspect surrounding posts and ask for a fresh proof through a trusted channel.
Important limitation: A genuine photo can be attached to a false story, and a manipulated photo can evade a model. Content and context must both be checked.
