What papers say
Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites frequency-based detectors as a baseline.
“While these methods proved highly effective in controlled environments, they exhibited severe fragility when exposed to standard image processing operations. For instance, a simple JPEG compression pass acts as a low-pass filter, effectively erasing the high-frequency clues that frequency-based detectors depend upon”
— Boosting Robust AIGI Detection with LoRA-based Pairwise Training“Unlike GANs, diffusion models generate images via iterative denoising, resulting in fingerprints that resemble high-frequency Gaussian noise rather than structural periodicity. This shift renders frequency-based detectors less effective on modern deepfakes (e.g., Stable Diffusion rombach2022latentdiffusion, DALL-E openai2023dalle3)”
