Detection
What "uncertain" means
A combined score between 40% and 70%. The evidence leans one way without settling it, and the card says so.
Updated
Every verdict is one of three labels from the combined score:
| Label | Score | Card headline |
|---|---|---|
| ai | 0.70 and above | AI-generated (provenance or 95%+) or Likely AI-generated |
| uncertain | 0.40 to 0.69 | Uncertain |
| human | below 0.40 | Looks human |
When you see it
On the default Balanced preset the circle only appears at a score of 0.90, so uncertain content shows no circle at all. On Lenient you still will not see it. In practice you meet uncertain verdicts in the popup's Uncertain count for the tab, and in the card when you open a post that was flagged and a later recheck lowered its score.
What it usually means
- A writing-pattern score that triggered a few features but not many.
- A classifier probability near the middle, often on stylised or heavily edited images.
- A recheck that found some artefacts and some natural detail.
- Community reports that disagree with each other.
What to do
Nothing, usually. Uncertain is the honest answer for content the detectors cannot settle. Pro users can ask for a recheck to add a second opinion. If you know the answer, Not AI or Report as AI adds your vote.
