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?

      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.

      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

      Collective human wisdom would be useful. Some humans will pick up nuances and details other humans may have missed. Sort of complementing each other, in a way.

          I’m not sure. But regardless, I’m thinking of an “Is it AI?” community or (sorry Lemmy users) subreddit, similar to r/whatisthisthing or r/amitheasshole. I don’t have the time and energy so hopefully someone takes my idea and puts them into fruition
