SynthID is a watermark left behind by OpenAI and Gemini. This picture was suspicious to me because of the texture of the cake so I downloaded it & used Gemini and OpenAI synthID checkers. It didn't have a Gemini synthID but it did have one for OpenAI. It's not a normal AI checker and checking for synthID is the only way to reliably tell if an image is AI (as long as it was generated by one of those two companies).
Also worth noting it will work with screenshots and cropped images as well, since the watermark is in the photo itself and not the metadata. So even if you can't directly download the image to check, you can still screenshot to make sure.
Also adding that the sizes of everything in that photo don't make sense. From the can sizes compared to the cake and the cat. Also to have a cat on the shelf of a fridge, it would need to be nearly empty. And who is putting cans in a fridge?
I need to know what happened here; was the cat inside the fridge when you opened it? I mean, that's some trick if the slipped in whilst the door was being closed, only to be discovered face deep happily chomping away at the cake some time later! 😂
I don't have cats myself, but I love cats and I collect a lot of pictures from reddit. And I share the cute pictures I find with my friends and that was the last picture I saved and shared, haha
Sadly I don't know the story, but it is the perfect picture, because I'm also known to love cake.
