Real vs AI Images?
are you good at telling the difference between a real photo and an AI generated one?
do you know anyone who has been or probably would be fooled by one? can include deepfakes and art also

I've seen people saying in a couple years we won't be able to tell what is real anymore, kinda spooky uwu

when it comes to 2D images it is usually extremely obvious, as many AI generated ones are having a strange "glossiness" to them, almost rubber looking. it becomes more difficult with real people, but likewise many AI images of "real" often have high levels of fuzzy bloom, i have noticed. probably to hide the imperfections.

the technology is getting more advanced by day
I saw some videos of nature in the woods by the river, had no idea it was AI generated, it was even held and moved like a person recording uwu
Usually but the models are getting better. The list of things you can identify as AI artifacts is getting smaller with every passing day.
I know a lot of people that are fooled by them. I'm sure I have been too. I've never really taken many images seriously anyways even before the AI craze.

In a couple years? Days ago my friend sent me a link saying "hey check out this TV show", I could notice it was AI only because the end made it utterly obvious.

yeah its creepy. its going to become really awful in the next few years when it is fully indistinguishable from real peoples
very easy to differentiate for now
The tech is going to be a problem, it's all fun and games when it comes to generating content for games, but when you say start generating news (negative, positive, doesn't matter), then we have an issue...

To answer the question, at the moment yes, but with the way it's developing, I don't know, I'll need to wait and see.
AI's gonna end the world, but not even in the cool terminator or Shodan kind of way. In the stupid monkey brain manipulation "hey look, we believe this thing that didn't happen so nuke everything" kind of way.
No. I cannot see the difference. At least not based on one single image. I may see a pattern in the images at some point, after watching a whole stream of images. But I don't see the point of doing that.

Training myself to see that difference? Just so I can detect the difference?
What's the use for it? Can it be used for anything constructive to be able to see that difference? Would being able to see that difference accomplish anything useful, besides being able to see the difference?

I don't think so.


I am not sure if there's much use for an AI if you only let it make drawings and pictures. You can probably do something more interesting with it.
For example, you can play short or simple text games with the AI. But I am not yet sure how complicated you can make such games, before it stops understanding them.

Again, AI generated faces of people have one intrinsic problem

Its not a three-dimensional being (human) standing in front of a three-dimensional object (camera) to take a three dimensional image, and then flatten it onto a surface proportionally

Its a 2 dimensional circuit board firing electrons back and forth generating a 2d image of a human face based on pre-existing images of 2d human faces.

AI will never perfect human faces. That is why.

You'll always notice some bizarre uncanny valley feature to their face. Usually their nose. Gives it away
For bow can, but prob 1 2 years it might not

Well, AI is also very trigger happy when given nukes to the point it's main objective is to murder as many humans & animals as possible, even the ones in the country the AI is programmed to defend... :lunar2019deadpanpig:

At least on the good side no one has been dumb enough to give AI actual nukes or be manipulated into doing it, yet. :steamhappy:

@OP I don't think humanity has the luxury of a few years before AI goes 1:1 in regards to images & videos. That would be a best case scenario, which i think it's no longer on the horizon, that window of opportunity has been closed.
