Are you looking at an AI-generated image?
But there is a way.
They often have bizarre visual distortions which you could train yourself to spot.
Look for a Watermark
Another important clue for identifying an AI-generated image is a watermark.
Can you spot the watermark in the image above?
So long as you “don’t mislead others about the nature of the work”.
Outside of this,OpenAI’s guidelinespermit you to remove the watermark.
Extra fingers are a sure giveaway, but there’s also something else going on.
TheAI or Not web toollets you drop in an image and quickly verify if it was generated using AI.
Take it with a grain of salt, however, as the results are not foolproof.
In our tests, it did do a better job than previous tools of its kind.
But it also produced plenty of wrong analysis, making it not much better than a guess.
It’s worth keeping an eye out for developments.
Slowly but surely progress is being made.
At that point, you won’t be able to rely on visual anomalies to tell an image apart.
