### The Detection Dilemma: The Degentic Games

The cat-and-mouse game between digital forgery and detection reached a tipping point early last year after years of escalating concern and anxiety. The most ambitious, expensive, and resource-intensive detection model was launched with actually impressive results. Impressive… for an embarassing two to three weeks. 

Then came the knockout punches. New SOTA models emerging every few weeks, in every imaginageable domain -- image, audio, video, music. Generated images are now at a level of realism that to an untrained eye, its unable to discern if its real or fake. [TO-DO: Add Citation to the study] 

And let's be honest: we saw this coming. When has humanity ever resisted accelerating technology that promises... *interesting* applications? As the ancients wisely tweeted: 🔞 drives innovation. 

It's time for a reset. Quit crying and get ready. Didn't you hear? The long awaited Degentic Games is starting soon.


Choose wisely.
