The paper introduces LAION-Mobile, a 1‑million‑image dataset of modern smartphone photos with EXIF metadata, to test deepfake detectors in a realistic computational‑photography setting. Twelve state‑of‑the‑art detectors were evaluated on a 9,115‑image subset, revealing that none achieved an AUC above 0.624 on AI‑generated content and that many detectors’ false‑alarm rates spike when thresholds are recalibrated for modern smartphone imagery. The study shows that current detectors fail to maintain both high detection performance and low false‑alarm rates on contemporary smartphone photos, highlighting a critical gap in existing evaluation benchmarks.
