Abstract (arXiv)

AI-generated image (AIGI) detection is undergoing a critical transition from laboratory benchmarks to open-world adversarial defense. The prevalent paradigm focuses on finding static feature spaces, assuming that some invariant artifacts learned from historical data can achieve universal zero-shot generalization. While achieving saturation on several AIGI benchmarks, this static hypothesis suffers a severe performance drop against rapidly evolving generators (e.g., SD3, Nano Banana Pro). To address these limitations, we propose that the field should expand beyond "static generalization" to a new paradigm of "dynamic adaptation". We introduce Fleet, a framework that pioneers a dynamic paradigm of continuous few-shot evolution, enabling rapid alignment with emerging generative threats. Fleet improves few-shot adaptation by replacing unconstrained feature updates with constrained routing correction, where avoidance routing redirects novel AI samples away from Non-AI-dominated routes within decoupled subspaces. To validate this, we present Treasure, a benchmark spanning 64 models and 360k images, featuring diverse architectures and 20 closed-source commercial engines. Experiments reveal that while static SOTA methods fail catastrophically on modern generators, Fleet restores performance from 20.4% to 73.1% with only 10-shot adaptation on "Doubao Seedream 4.0".
