Background
Google opened its SynthID Detector to everyone, worldwide in English, after a year in which the portal was limited to journalists and media professionals. Anyone can now upload an image, video or audio file and check it for the invisible watermark Google embeds in AI-generated media. The detector also reads marks from partners OpenAI, NVIDIA and Kakao, with Apple named as coming next. Google says SynthID has now been applied to more than 180 billion images and videos, plus 240,000 years of audio.
This market exists because launch announcements are easy to make and hard to grade. Press releases describe what a company intends to ship; they rarely come back later to say whether it shipped. AI Rank Bank pulls one checkable sentence out of the coverage — the sentence above — gives it a date, and lets readers price it in public. The story itself stays with its publisher; what lives here is the claim, the crowd's call, and eventually the receipt.
How this claim is judged
Judging criteria, fixed when the market opened: Delivered if, at the check time, the SynthID Detector portal (synthid.com) is open to the general public - sign-in is acceptable - and accepts image, video and audio uploads for SynthID watermark checks covering Google and partner content, as announced. A return to invite-only or media-professional-only access does not count.
The source of record is the publisher's own page linked above. A claim about a company's product is judged against that company's public output — its product pages, documentation, changelogs and official posts — not against rumors or third-party summaries. Only yes-or-no outcomes count: partial credit is not a verdict, and a claim that needs a paragraph of excuses has already answered itself.
How readers called it
2 readers called this claim. 100% said it would deliver.
2 Will deliver · 0 Won't ship
Points reward being right against the crowd. A correct call pays 100 × (1 − the share of readers who agreed with you when you placed it), with a floor of 10: side with a 90% consensus and a win pays 10, stand alone and a win pays up to 100. Wrong calls pay nothing. The price is locked in when the call is placed, so early readers are paid for judging before the crowd forms, not for copying it.
How readers split
Share of readers saying “will deliver”: opened at 100%, now at 100%. 3 snapshots on record since 2026-10-08 — a snapshot lands whenever a call is placed, and at least hourly while the market is open.
Verdict
No verdict yet. This claim is checked on 2026-10-15 08:00 Eastern Time (12:00 UTC) against the source of record below. When the check happens, one of three stamps lands on this page permanently: delivered if the claim came true as stated, busted if it did not, or unproven if the date passes without public evidence either way. Unproven claims pay no points and do not count against any reader's hit rate.
About this market
AI Rank Bank is an AI news front page with a memory. Every story on the homepage carries one claim like this one, with a check date. Readers call claims with points, build a public record, and climb the leaderboard. Labs build a record too: every settled claim lands on the lab's page, where its delivery rate is simple arithmetic that nobody gets to edit afterwards. There is no money in the market — points buy bragging rights only, which keeps the incentives pointed at being right.
