arXiv:2608.20713v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative AI can now produce highly realistic images, yet current models still exhibit subtle but critical defects that undermine their reliability. While existing AI-generated image (AGI) evaluation benchmarks have made notable progress, comprehensive AGI defect diagnosis remains underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce AGIDefect-4K, a richly annotated dataset of 4,000 images from 15 state-of-the-art generative models spanning both open-source and closed-source systems. AGIDefect-4K features hierarchical defect annotations: (1) detection labels identifying whether defects exist, (2) pixel-level segmentation masks localizing defective regions, and (3) detailed textual explanations characterizing defect types and their perceptual impact. Each image is further annotated with an overall quality score. Building on this, we present AGIDA (AGI Defect Assistant), a baseline framework leveraging Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for joint defect detection, localization, explanation, and quality prediction. Comprehensive benchmarking on AGIDefect-4K reveals that AGI defect understanding remains challenging, underscoring the value of this dataset. The dataset is publicly available at https://github.com/sxfly99/AGIDefect-4K.
