Can ChatGPT Detect DeepFakes? A Study of Using Multimodal Large Language Models for Media Forensics
“In this work, we investigate the capabilities of multimodal large language models (LLMs) in DeepFake detection. We conducted qualitative and quantitative experiments to demonstrate multimodal LLMs and show that they can expose AI-generated images through careful experimental design and prompt engineering.”
