Some of the real pictures are using filters that make them look like AI.

Yeah, one of them definitely had the fake, post-processed bokeh effect added to it that a lot of phones with “portrait mode” use. Which, to be completely fair, makes that technically an AI-generated image.

I was looking for artifacts of AI generation, and I found them, but I’m still wrong. I can’t win.

I gave up after the 2nd heavily edited photo. What’s the point if the games rigged. Are either real faces? No.

Yeah what the fuck was that about? Clearly rigged for sensationalism.

Yeah, but I found there are telltale AI signs in the fake ones.

But you’re absolutely right. They made it harder by editing the real faces to make them look fake anyway.

the real photos just looked like professional photography, that’s how your photos will look like when you hire a photographer

This is the sort of thing that I like to send to people who assure me that “all AI generated art looks wrong” or whatever.

No, the AI generated art that looks wrong is the only AI generated art that you notice. The rest slips by.

9/10.

AI sucks at reflections, so pay attention to the pupils to see if both eyes reflect similar shapes.

Also a few had odd lines where their neck was like surgically reattached to another body.

Also, pupils are often not regular circles in AI images. The only one I got wrong was the real picture of the guy wearing dirty glasses.

I think the point still holds. AI generation has gotten very very good which requires you to look for minute details most people won’t know to look for. The small issues you point out are probably easily solved if you really wanted to make them even harder to detect with a post processing model or just eventually improvements. This is just some random blog post too, so it’s unlikely they even put that much work into it. I’m sure experts will emerge that will have all those details in mind to make them even harder to detect.

I can see a few glaring mistakes, but that’s not too bad.

Our words might be scrapped, but it won’t help with facial generation.

So reading why we can tell the difference won’t train something to work around it?

Not with current methods.

I think this would require something closer to an actual AI an not the pattern recognition machines we use at the moment.

Isn’t everything being used to train AI now? Am I an AI? Woah, look at my fingers… duuuude.

As always, it’s hard to determine what is AI and what is a filter. The guy whose entire face was edited to be flat and tilted 10 degrees toward the camera got me. That said, 8/10. The first two clued me into what the author was going for and I got the rest right.

Modern phone cameras are passing pretty much all photos through AI filters now to add detail or upscale, so filtered photos are more the norm than exception now, so that doesn’t really help people to filter out AI images. Point still stands that it’s already gotten extremely good and now requires recognizing tiny details. It doesn’t have to go far to get to the point where it’ll be next to impossible to tell.

Yep, same with 8/10. Real faces are less symmetrical than AI
