I’ve posted 2 images over the past month that turned out to be AI and I’m getting angry at myself for not crabbing them. Does anyone have a good resource or way of determining AI generated images?

    Most of the time, it helps to zoom in and see if things are in a “wrong” place or “melt” into each other, or something that should be symmetric isn’t.

    Finding letters and words helps, too. They’re often nonsense words or unclear letters.

    E.g. https://lemmy.world/post/10202384?scrollToComments=true if that’s one you were referring to, you can see symmetry problems in the support beams, floors. Letters and writing is wrong. Back of truck has stuff “melding”.

      This might work for now, but there’s likely gonna be no way to tell someday soon. What do we do for the long term?

        Yeah, long term it will be near impossible to tell by inspecting the image.

        We will end up with a system of identifying and trusting the image creator to be truthful, and tracking which/if modifications have been done to the picture.

        We have cryptography tools that can be used for most of that, but how it will work as a system for all the weird problems people have (like dying, grifting, stealing, selling access, lying, infringing) is not something we can just throw some tech on and assume it solved.
