I’m not great at determining when something is AI. Is there an app or community for asking if an image is real or AI?

      I don’t think a community for it is an unreasonable idea - at least for now, many AI images are easily identifiable by defects / lack of reasoning in the image. Though there isn’t a good computer program that can do this, I agree.

        Human intuition has much more capabilities than a computer program, so I believe community should be made in light of that

          I second this. Using AI to detect AI seems ironic more than anything. Some of my friend’s traditional drawings were guessed as most likely being AI by these detectors… The false positive rate is substantial.

            Look closely at the little things in places where you expect to see “things” and see if they are actually the things you expect them to be. With AI they often aren’t actually things at all. Also patterns may look right until you examine them closely.

            Look at thin lines (hair, eyelashes, powerlines). In AI pictures, some lines just melt away and are not continuous. It’s a dead giveaway

            Look really closely at a couple things: hands and any broken lines that should be straight.

            Hands hopefully is obvious. AI has trouble drawing fingers. For the broken lines, picture a wall or a swimming pool or something that you know is a straight line, but is behind the subject. If the lines don’t line up, that’s a good clue.
