Are there tools to detect AI videos?
yes. Several AI detection tools exist.
AI cybersecurity company CloudSEK has released a deepfake analyzer that scans video frames for signs of tampering. In our tests, we successfully flagged viral AI videos like a fake polar bear rescue (giving the clips a 57% “AI Likelihood” score).

There are also services such as WasItAI and AI-or-Not that allow you to upload frames or videos to see if they were generated by AI. These tools look for the types of discrepancies described above, but in my experience they can be hit or miss.
For example, a Coca-Cola commercial that was generated entirely by AI fooled CloudSEK's detector into thinking it was probably created by a human.
What will happen to watermarks on AI videos?
I didn't mention this as an omen because it should be obvious. But if you see a logo floating on your video, like Sora's watermark, it's AI. Sometimes it's easy to miss something when you're so caught up in the moment. But once you start looking for them, they really stand out.
What is the difference between AI slop and deepfakes?
“AI slop” usually refers to low-effort, high-volume AI content, like the Sora video you may have seen on your social feeds. They are usually harmless and created purely for entertainment. Deepfakes, on the other hand, result in more realistic-looking fakes. It is also created with AI, but mimics real people and events, and is often intended to deceive.
