AI or Not game. Is this image real or AI? Can you tell? Take the test

AI or not?

Can you tell the difference between AI-generated images and real images?
Test your skills and compare yourself to others!

The AI images in this test were generated using various publicly accessible generative AI models. The AI images have not been edited in any way and were left as-is. Additional editing could enhance the realism or correct imperfections inherent to the initial generation process, potentially making it more challenging to distinguish between AI-generated and genuine photographs. Potential edits include adjustments to lighting, texture, or the removal of any unusual artifacts that typically indicate the images' AI origins.

Telling if an image is AI-generated can be very challenging.

Most test takers currently score between 55% and 75% accuracy on this test.

How can you tell if an image is AI generated?

Close examination of intricate details such as reflections, shadows, and textures can reveal inconsistencies or anomalies that are not typically found in natural images.
AI-generated images often struggle with complex patterns or the nuanced interplay of light and shadow.
The presence of artifacts or distortions, especially in areas where different elements intersect or in backgrounds, can be indicative of AI generation.
Finally, analyzing the symmetry and proportions of objects and figures in the image can help.
