The game is simple:

Two photos side by side
One's made by a human, one's made with AI
Pick the AI one
See if you're right (plus the source/prompt)

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.

    Same, I was looking for inconsistencies in lighting, black/white points, etc, and I think in several cases I picked an image as AI based on details that were a result of photo manipulation and not "real". I got the same score as you in the end here.

    Kinda interesting, somewhat invalidated what I thought this was testing, but it's an interesting test nonetheless. I may retake this in a few days now that I know it's comparing AI to photoshop and not "reality". Would certainly need a different strategy.
