RA-Bench uses 1,830 authentic anchors and 16,056 synthetic clips from four open-source and five closed-source generators, spanning 10 social-risk categories tied to real crisis events (arXiv 2608.14391). None of seven traditional detectors, ten zero-shot multimodal models or two fine-tuned MLLMs generalize consistently. Two secondary findings sharpen it: the videos that fool humans are the same ones that defeat detectors, and simulated social dissemination further degrades reliability. Today's top HuggingFace Daily Paper at 72 upvotes. If you planned to bolt a provenance check onto a media pipeline, the detector layer is not yet load-bearing.
