Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (May 2025)

How it works: - Upload an image (or paste a link). - ImgDetect analyzes the image using multiple AI models. - It provides a probability score and highlights possible manipulations.

Why I built it: With the rise of AI-generated content, it's becoming harder to distinguish real from fake. I wanted to create a lightweight, privacy-focused tool that anyone can use without technical knowledge.

Link: - App Store / Download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ai-image-detector-imgdetect/id...

Features: - Fast AI detection - Privacy-focused: No image data is stored - Available on mobile and web

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions! If you find any bugs or have ideas for improvement, please feel free to share.

Thanks a lot for checking it out!

Where is the web link? you only included the app download link....

edit - I found it and there is no web usable version and you're already looking for subscriptions, how do we know how well it works, many people make something in this space that goes dead quickly.

I made a post earlier about a multiple round captcha system idea that asks for users to say which direction part of a optical illusion is "moving" towards: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43807803

Would you like to implement such a captcha in your app and website to ease server load?

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Right now, our main focus with ImgDetect is on delivering fast AI detection and maintaining a simple, seamless user experience. But I agree — if server load increases significantly or we need extra protection in the future, implementing a creative captcha system like the one you mentioned sounds like a really smart idea. I'll definitely keep it in mind! Thanks again for sharing this concept.
