I gave up after the 2nd heavily edited photo. What’s the point if the games rigged. Are either real faces? No.
Yeah what the fuck was that about? Clearly rigged for sensationalism.
the real photos just looked like professional photography, that’s how your photos will look like when you hire a photographer
2/10. Are there any giveaways that a face is AI generated?
Faces are very well done these days, you can go to https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ and keep refreshing images. Eventuall you’ll notice little things, like earrings not matching or sunglasses being 2 different halves melded together, hats and hair can look weird, etc
But most of them appear very human
That’s wild. Some of them are really good, but I see what you mean once you keep refreshing the page. Glasses are a good tell once you look closely. Earlobes also appear to be difficult to perfect as well.
I went back to the NYT article and tried again with my goldfish memory using that deduction and got 6/10.
Also, these are all emulating professional camera conditions. In a more standard phone photo scenario, the lower quality can lead to all sorts of weird looking illusions in real photos that can make them look ai generated. I was playing with some AI photo editing and saw some things that looked off which I thought was the generation messing up, but after checking the original photo again I saw that the weird stuff was actually in the original photo due to weird shadows or motion blur.
For me it was the eyes. Pretty much all of the real faces had realistic reflections in the eyes. The AI ones didn’t.
I got 8/10. The blond AI and the dude with glasses were the two I missed.
2/10 here as well. I went fast to test myself.
You beat random chance! I mean in the opposite direction… So I’m not really sure what that says…
I failed the first 6 guesses and quit. Years before this recent AI boom, there was thispersondoesnotexist and even back then, AI was generating extremely convincing faces.
Fuck, I got 50%. If others had the same result, you can guess the implications.
So I figured out the difference here, and it’s gamed to make you think they’re backward.
The real photos appear to be professionally edited with the light, filters, and bokeh being perfect while the AI generated are more like candids you’d take with your phone. This is an intentional move by the author to make this scarier than it actually is, imo. Next to each other we expect the AI to be more ‘perfect’ than the real photos. Once I figured that out I got them all right.
If they’d put candids next to these AI generated images I’m willing to bet you’d have done better.
Same, so no better than random chance
7/10. Real people are much uglier than what AI generates, e.g. more skin texture, asymmetrical features, odd face proportions etc. Unfortunately makes telling apart edited/filtered images of real people very difficult from AI generated ones.
IIRC people find “average” looking faces much more attractive, and if AI is essentially mushing many different faces together this would make sense.
I think they purposefully picked real people with slightly odd proportions to try and throw you off, but did it a little too consistently making it easier to guess. I think with more work put into it it would be very hard to tell. It’s hard to tell and this is just a quickly thrown together blog quiz.
6/10. Of the ones I got wrong 3 of them seemed heavily photoshopped.
Only managed to identify 3/10 faces correctly.
I surprisingly got 6/10. The AI ones that I guessed had some faint lines on the skin near the chin that seemed kinda blurry.
Does the ninth person have two different earpieces !? Common !
Got 6/10, for at least 2 pictures I looked at the outside corners of the eyes, if they match it’s likely AI, most real humans likely do not have symmetry there.
