This thread makes me so sad about the future. Here we have a bunch of folks who are absolutely convinced that a real image is AI generated, some even after being shown that it predates AI image generators. But we live in a time when there are a giant number of real images online, the only AI generated images are very recent, and most of those have things like extra fingers. What's it going to be like in twenty years, when image generators are so much better and there are so many more generated images? Having a photo of something will prove nothing.
Extra fingers etc are gone except if the prompt monkey missed it. Current ones you can spot by them being off / feeling off or zooming very close into the picture to spot weird transitions. It's not "20 years into the future", it's now.
I was also fooled, for the past idk 6 months social media is flooded with AI generated cat pics (and videos) and they all look pretty much like the picture. I think it was just in its training data and feels so similar because of that.
Example: Go ahead, try to spot anything besides the offness
There's for sure the "offness," but there are also things like the lack of veins in the cat's ear, which we'd see with the like coming through like that. But I agree, they're getting very good.
