    Can you spot the difference?

    I got 75% correct on my 1st attempt. Given how much we draw from images alone, i'm curious to see if like minded folk such as yourselves can spot the difference. Given, if we're heading down a road where AI generated or rendered images become easier and cheaper to produce, we'll find it much harder to determine whether images are real or fictional.

    I managed 75% so only three that were wrong, one I thought was fake but there were elements I thought were real enough. Still not a bad guess I reckon.

    I got 92%, but then I work in machine vision/image analytics... Some looked 'too real' so it was easy to assume they were fake, so very staged to seem like they were fake. The one I got wrong was number 2!

    67%
    City scape, wrong
    Old woman, wrong, that one surprised me
    Strawberry, wrong, pure guess
    Periscope, wrong, another one that surprised me,
    but looking back I can see where it's generated

    67% on my phone, I'd like to think it'd be higher on a bigger screen.

    Got 'em all. Sometimes I think you want to act a bit like a computer. Run a few passes over each image asking something different each time before drawing a conclusion.
    Also try to leverage the things that are more difficult or abstract to get perfect even with meticulous reproduction and compositing. Maybe ignore the pixels and question whether something works architecturally, or from a street planning pov :happy: Or if it's something spectacular or unusual would I have likely have seen it before somewhere else? Or is it something that is comparable to other photos that I know to be real?

    That said, a lot of things that come down to good composite work and/or very faithful reproduction of a source are just naturally difficult to spot. This isn't a new thing though.

    I clearly have a very discerning eye, and it absolutely was not pure luck :lol:

    83% for me. 4th and last photo got me. An interesting look at how we view media though!

    83%.
    The kitchen and the periscope caught me out.
    Interesting little thing to try there.

    I have very discerning eyes, shame they don't work as well as they used to...

    EDIT: 50% :wallbash:

    I got 83%, also tripped up by the old woman - I was really stuck on that one but felt like the glasses made her real; and the periscope, the background felt real enough as did the subject (that I know nothing about!) so so I went real :rollingeyes:

    It's how you say to everyone how deeply humble you are that builds the picture of awesomeness :winking:

    got 83%. Gave it to one of the of the coloured crayon department and watching him get 100% explaining his reasoning for each one. I was very impressed.

    83%, got duped by old woman, and periscope (mainly because was bored and didn't look too closely). Imo main thing about this test is that all pictures are quite low res and there is no easy way to zoom in.
    Subway - lighting and reflections are way off
    Coutryside - roads are a blurry mess
    Mall? - speaker/antenna on the column at top floor - too practical to be placed by artist.
    Fruitbowl - lighting/shadows/light scattering is off.
    Cityscape - holo signs & flying cars
    Building facade - i feel like i've seen this building elsewhere, otherwise 50/50 guess
    Lion - too much detail in fur to be a render
    Woman - got duped
    Strawberry - seed distribution/colour, detail in leafs
    Interior - honestly, just looks like any other interior render
    Fern - was starting to get bored, felt like a photo
    Periscope - got duped, but looking now, the light reflections and background is way off
