So far, I haven't seen all that many, and the ones that are are very obvious like a very glossy crab at the beach wearing a Santa Claus hat. I definitely have yet to see one that's undisclosed, let alone actively disguising itself. I also have yet to see someone try using an AI-generated image on Wikipedia. The process of disclaiming generative AI usage is trivialized in the upload process with an obvious checkbox, so the only incentive not to is straight-up lying.
I can't say how much this will be an issue in the future or what good steps are to finding and eliminating it should it become one.
How would you know if an image is AI generated? That was easy to do in the past, but have you seen what they are capable of now?
