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 failed the first 6 guesses and quit. Years before this recent AI boom, there was thispersondoesnotexist and even back then, AI was generating extremely convincing faces.
So I figured out the difference here, and it’s gamed to make you think they’re backward.
The real photos appear to be professionally edited with the light, filters, and bokeh being perfect while the AI generated are more like candids you’d take with your phone. This is an intentional move by the author to make this scarier than it actually is, imo. Next to each other we expect the AI to be more ‘perfect’ than the real photos. Once I figured that out I got them all right.
If they’d put candids next to these AI generated images I’m willing to bet you’d have done better.
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.
7/10. Real people are much uglier than what AI generates, e.g. more skin texture, asymmetrical features, odd face proportions etc. Unfortunately makes telling apart edited/filtered images of real people very difficult from AI generated ones.
IIRC people find “average” looking faces much more attractive, and if AI is essentially mushing many different faces together this would make sense.
I think they purposefully picked real people with slightly odd proportions to try and throw you off, but did it a little too consistently making it easier to guess. I think with more work put into it it would be very hard to tell. It’s hard to tell and this is just a quickly thrown together blog quiz.
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.
Got 6/10, for at least 2 pictures I looked at the outside corners of the eyes, if they match it’s likely AI, most real humans likely do not have symmetry there.
