Reality Check #1 19/20

This thing messed me up:

They both looked like they could be AI - but to me it looks like that one has an AI artifact

The problem with this test is that it all depends on the model for the AI pictures. There are models now that specifically aim to have imperfections to emulate real pictures, unlike these

80%, better than I expected for myself. It does help that they are showing similar images side by side.

Oh great point! I'm sure I would have done worse that way as well. Particularly if it didn't give me feedback until the end.

Yeah, the quickest way to tell was to look for things that AI wouldn't include, like brown tips on flower petals or broken sticks that have the right fracture pattern and don't just fade away. AI tends to generate things that are very averaged/ideal looking. The textures of ai images also look wavy with like a 10-20pixel periodicity when zoomed in. The noise from real cameras is much more speckly.

I also got 20/20, but only because it was an A/B comparison. If asked AI or real on each image indlividually, I'm not sure I would get much above 65%.

FUCK AI

I got 14/20. Once I stopped over thinking it it was easier. Sometimes I found myself picking the ones I thought looked "more realistic" because I kept getting them wrong and if worked better. Something something hyperreal.

Most of the AI generated images looked too clean and smooth. It made me appreciate the real images more.

The problem with this is that it's mostly nature scenes. Once images of people are used, it's much easier to detect slop.

So the hardest part was that a lot of the pairings both looked like AI and every 50/50 guess I made was wrong. Many real images that I got wrong looked like staged professional shots with a ton of digital manipulation afterward.

Final Accuracy: 60%

AI image generation is in this weird place between professional staged shots and amateur photography and is probably there because the training set includes both.

It's a lot easier if you zoom in and check fine patterns.

I didn't zoom in or anything like that, but I also feel like I was playing against "Dev traps" instead of unbiased pairs if that makes sense.

85% ... and a lot of these pictures were just landscapes. If there we more pictures with people, animals or other objects, this would be even easier.

Ahh, almost! I did have to zoom into most photos though so a lot of them could pass on quick glance.

We are cooked.

Granted I accidentally refreshed half way through so maybe my score should be 17/20

The images are pretty good but a lot of them still have the "too polished" look.

Also wish the text to copy doesn't look so AI itself lol

Is this site just going to use the results to train AI to generate better fake imagery?

75% I found the landscape photos much more difficult.

The ones I got wrong I rushed and selected my first instinct without looking them over for at least ten seconds.

75%

At first I was analyzing both and picking the wrong one (one of the human ones had a tree that looked like early AI lmao), eventually I just went off on instinct and ended up being right on 90% of them. I guess the details were fine-tuned, but there's still something off about them.

You could also do one at a time and have to guess on it's own
