Self-Consistency-Based Fake Media Detection Using Multi-Perspective LLM Reasoning

The rapid proliferation of synthetic and misleading media has intensified the need for robust fake media detection systems. While large language models (LLMs) have recently been employed as classifiers for misinformation detection, most existing approaches treat them as black-box predictors, overlooking their internal reasoning dynamics. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for fake media detection based on self-consistency divergence across multi-perspective LLM reasoning. Instead of gen
