ArXi:2606.02224v1 Announce Type: new The evolution and dissemination of AI-synthesized images is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Image generators are making rapid progress in their goal of perfectly imitating natural images, which also challenges image forensics. In this work, we exploit an underexplored cue in current generative models, namely their weakness to imitate color statistics of natural images. We first show that the LPIPS loss used for
