The scenery ones are near impossible to tell because you have no context. The pencil art one is impressive though.
There are things you can look for. When it isn't generated, you can spot parts where the artist got lazy. Sometimes, if the art style allows for it, you can spot simple shapes that are left over, and the lighting.
Also things like the butterfly in one of them look off in a way that a human who's seen one won't draw it as if they're actually capable of the rest of the image
The butterfly was sus, but I've seen my fair share of horrendous horses in broadcast anime. I was tipped off, but I didn't judge off of just that.
I got all the landscape ones correct—except for one—by applying my limited knowledge of art technique.
I did bad.
But I expected to do bad. AI generation has become too good.
You tell yourself you can identify them, because sometimes you notice weird artifacts and spot the AI quickly. But we’re really only noticing the bad ones. We’ll never even know the good ones were AI most of the time, so we can’t balance how good we think we are at spotting them against how often we were actually wrong.
Hands are often a giveaway. The first image for example shows perfect hand proportion - even through a glass. AI isn’t there yet.
I was missing a "don't know"/"can't determine" option.
For photographs specifically and some types of paintings/artificial stuff, there are things you can look for. But for other things, I feel like, or at least to my knowledge, you can't.
Like the pencil drawing. There's not enough things it could be doing wrong. It's a sketch. With simplistic but "error-excusing"/diffuse/transformable content.
The goal isn't really to be a quiz, but rather just to see how susceptible people are to AI generated art. Many of the images I chose are intentionally vague, 80% of people so far got the line art sketch wrong, and that's with knowing that many of these are AI generated. The results are definitely interesting to see.
A "don't know" option would ruin the point since most people would just choose that. I want to see where people lean towards.
The back left leg of the bench in the pencil drawing is in the wrong place - at least that was what I considered the 'tell'.
But I found it really hard to spot the AI.
13/20, I work in AI. The paintings were the hardest for me, because the art style obfuscates some of the AI artefacts that can be tells.
I basically came here to say this. The paintings are hard but real life photos are easier.
Yeh, I don't work in AI but got 12 because the art was difficult. It's still a while off until it becomes impossible to tell.
14 / 20 here. I dunno why there are so many people, particularly on Reddit, who absolutely hate AI art. Yeah some of it can look janky, uncanny valley, or such but a lot of it looks really damn cool.
And not all of us have talents to create visual art of our own so text creation is much more accessible for us to explore our imaginations. Or lack the money to commission pieces from human artists.
10/20.
You can only fool me half the time! Joke's on you, robots!
8/20. I am pretty good on photorealistic images, but the random drawings... honestly a lot of the ones by people I tagged as AI generated because i thought they kinda sucked.
I got 17 out of 20. I pegged the bezerk drawing as generated because the bottom part of the armor lacked symmetry and didn't make any sense. I got the other three line drawings incorrect.
I have spent WAAAAY to much of my freetime generating images and apparently have picked up an eye for the weird types of artifacts that these generators produce. The hardest one to articulate is that generated images have a very specific type of noise. Images create a very nice grainy type noise while digital images get more of the blocky jpeg artifacts and banding. Generated images get this weird hybrid of the two that isn't consistent across the whole image.
14/20 isn't bad I guess.
The AI overlords will kill you first. Your victory will be hollow and sour.
Good job!
:(
10/20, this was indeed harder, especially the ones that were similar styles but not consistently AI or human-generated. I think images of paintings was kind of cheating, though...
Regardless of score bragging, it requires some technical knowledge and pixel peeping to really be able to tell, and even then I can't guarantee you can. I would imagine your average Joe wouldn't even know any better.
9/20 rip
Nice try robots! I’m not helping you learn how to fool us humans.
Got 10/20. The second photo really threw me for a loop. All the texture on the skin and and hair led me to believe human; I noticed the weird patch on the shoulder and the unnatural shine on the ear but excused it as technical flaws or something, chose human in the end. I really thought that corporate logo style drawing of the avocado was human, like it wasn't even a question for me and yet the fact that it was AI really surprised me.
14/20, huh. i seem to have learned a lot from all of the ai generated pics on rule34.
15/20 damn this was a lot harder than I expected. I've found that analyzing the pictures for small details that make no sense or lack context on why they are there helps greatly. But damn these things have better better fast
The avocado had real text. Is Dall-E 3 capable of creating legible text?
Yes, it's the only model that manages to get text right, and the results are usually pretty consistent. It's a big step forward.
I didn't do great. Dalli-3 is really good and I couldn't spot anything obvious in most of the pictures.
I did well with the photograph ones, bad with the drawings, as I suspected.
[Survey] Can you tell which Surveys are AI generated??
11/20 but many times I wasn't sure, and most times I thought that this pic doesn't belong into such a survey, because it is too simple.
The survey question is more meaningful when it's about photorealistic images. Simple advertising graphics are meaningless either way.
Surprised I got 16/20
A couple were surprising but others seemed obvious in hindsight. Some of these AI models have a really specific vibe that is easy to spot. It can be removed sometimes but if the prompts don't prevent it, the images tend to have this glow and pop that many real images don't have. They're perfectly detailed if that makes sense.
Got 14/20, which I feel pretty good about, but you do this survey every year and it's gonna keep going lower. I bet even a year ago, most people would be above 75% accuracy.
11/20, the LEGO one got me good
I got 12.
I'm happy with 12/20
At least I can say that I'm better than average
No, it’s not a trick survey where ALL of them are AI.
