IPTC & XMP

The field where the provenance is stated explicitly.

The IPTC maintains a list of digital source types. If it holds the value for “created with generative AI”, that is a self-declaration by its creator — and the clearest statement an image file can make about itself.

FAQ about IPTC & XMP

Can this field be faked?

Yes, like any metadata entry. It can be written and deleted with ordinary tools. The finding says so at that point too.

What exactly is in there?

An address from the IPTC list, for example …/digitalsourcetype/trainedAlgorithmicMedia. The plugin shows the raw value and, beside it, what it means.

What if the field is missing?

Then the file says nothing about it. That is no hint of a camera and none of AI.
