Note: I did NOT generate these pictures.
I DON'T use AI for replacing me doing photographs, and I DON'T want or plan to.

I propose a little game. Could you find out which are traditional photos and which are AI-generated images?
Like a survey, I think this could be very revealing. Please, play the game. Thank you to those who participate

Added rule: serious participations will get the result in a private message, to keep the suspense going, and make it more interesting for those who take part. Thanks for keeping it for yourself.

(Please consider there may be a delay because of european nights that occurs each day)

AI creates images based on the real ones that the developers fed it. Therefore, I think it is unlikely to distinguish visually.

Yes, I believe it's all Ai

Lowls · « **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2023, 02:08 »

There are 3 potential answers.

They are all A.I. They are all.not A.I. or there is a mixture.

It would be pointless to ask of they were all a.i.
Dropping to 2 answers. Instinctively I guess they all are but in the interest of actually leaving my mind to see if it suspects any images of being fake beyond being photoshopped to death with various filters which are probably a.i. as well

1- AI shadows aren't realistic.
2- AI foreground light is false
3- AI man's weight distribution looks wrong. Bag looks wrong.
4- Reality / AI both She looks right but the Bokeh looks jelly like.
5- AI looks like a computer game
6- Reality
7- Reality
8- AI
9- AI
10- Reality
11- AI hahahaha his eyes are wrong and so are his fingers LOL. Badly wrong.
12- AI light on ball looks wrong
13- AI face looks fake. Looks squeezed. Her expression isn't correct.
14- AI
15- Reality
16- Reality
17- AI
18- AI
19- AI
20- Reality
21- Reality

Fascinating. Some just felt fake or flat. LOL well this will be interesting. Thanks for doing this.

Digital · « **Reply #10 on:** June 10, 2023, 04:51 »

Actually they are all real photos, Photoshopped to look like A.I.

ouatedeP · « **Reply #11 on:** June 10, 2023, 05:47 »

hopefully all AI which means "creator" doesn't own copyright and usage like this is fair game

DiscreetDuck · « **Reply #12 on:** June 10, 2023, 05:58 »

Really, this is even more interesting than I imagined. Of course, I have (for the moment) a lead over you and that's not the goal, but you will see later that it is a real source of lessons, especially when you detail the reasons for your choice.
Thank you for your participation and patience, because the more participants there are, the more we will get a clearer idea about the question of AI vs traditionnal photography.
And I can tell you that even knowing behind the scenes, I measure my inability to discern 100% reliably.

dk · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2023, 08:07 »

It is still possible to tell if it's AI or not as long as the image is at a size where you can zoom in (maybe 4 mepapixels and above). It is not possible to tell from thumbnail size images like these.

Not really. If the point would be to show you that your preconceptions about AI imagery are false, and that they're good enough to pass. Or whatver.

My vote the same all AI, made to look like AI and too small to look close.

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2023, 09:36 »

I took a look with the display zoomed - it's really hard to evaluate such small thumbnails - but here are my guesses:

1- AI - everything super-green super-lush & the cows aren't fenced in
2- AI - barren valley & lush hilltops with chocolate-box art vibe
3- AI - lighting looks fake
4- AI - shoulder blade looks unreal and the glass stem is unusually long
5- AI - Lights softly hazy and shadow areas very pale; greenery blobby & uniform color
6- Reality Way over-processed, but looks like a cleaned up long exposure shot
7- Reality
8- AI - I don't think there's a view like that or columns/tiles like that in the real thing
9- AI - Odd combination of rounded boulders and super-jagged peaks and grasses up that high?
10- AI - lighthouse looks tiny and unclear where the light on the water is coming from with such dark clouds
11- AI - hands
12- AI - lighting on ball doesn't match lighting on dog (but it could be a bad composite)
13- Reality
14- Reality
15- Reality
16- AI- lighting and doll-like quality of child
17- AI - composition & lighting
18- AI - dystopian scene & lighting
19- AI - it's all too perfect - none of the stock photos of scallops look this good
20- AI - it's all too perfect - none of the stock photos of scallops look this good
21- Reality - focus isn't good, but damaged wood is such a favorite subject...

your statement is not true (and has been explained multiple times) no actual images are created under normal use. an uploaded photo may be submitted for new generations, but no indication that is the case here

the artist does own the copyright under US law - the copyright office view is only an opinion and doesn't change the law. there is no requirement to register with that office

A day is a twenty-four-hour period, from one midnight to the next. It would be troublesome if European nights did NOT occure each day.

Most nights around here occur at night, not during the day.

Again, a "day" is a twenty-four-hour period, from one midnight to the next.

When you say "during the day" you refer to daytime, when the sun is up. When you say "during a or each day" you refer to the 24 hours period of a full day.
