20/21. Some of them were definitely harder than others, but the only one that stumped me was the Japanese scroll.

14/21 I’ve found that the ones that are very stylized or abstract are a lot harder to spot, whereas the ones of at least semi-realistic humans are usually easier to flag as AI.

20/21. The volcano one was the only one that was a toss-up for me. The others all had obvious tell-tell marks of the current state of AI art if you've spent enough time playing with it.

AI art has this weird soulless lack of feeling permeating through it. It really creeps me out, not in an AI is dANgErOuS and will destroy us kind of way. It’s more like looking at someone who is smiling but dead. It can’t hurt you, but it haunts you.

Got 18 out of 21. The paintings are what got me. Other than that, it’s still relatively easy to tell if an AI created it. They seem to struggle a bit with human faces, fingers/hands always look weird, ears look weird, etc.

20/21. I missed the sunflower comparison.
In every other comparison there was a dead giveaway that they were AI art. Kids fingers, shape of the sun in the last image, nonsensical bouquet in the second flower comparison, the perfectly detailed deer in the Japanese scroll. There's always some aspect of AI art that looks off.

19 out of 21, mainly just looked for the thing that AI does where it kinda forgets what a lines purpose was and would repurpose it for something else. for me it was the sunflower vase. for the scroll the building at the top made 0 sense so I didn't even look at the rest of the picture

I suspect I probably would've caught one or two more of them if I had been looking on my computer instead of on my phone. Of course, these are images that came straight out of the software without any in painting or retouching. I suspect all of the telltale signs would've been covered by somebody with more skill.

13 out of 21. honestly it just scary how GOOD AI is. and is getting. I never in 100 years would of guess Ai could and would be able to do such a thing.
As a artist though I feel like we aren't out of a job YET. while what the Ai does is impressive it still a Ai it isn't gonna capture stuff like how some lighting and shapes of stuff gonna be.
still don't like how they steal people art though.

18/21
Some of them, like the one with the cubes or the flowers, are simple enough that an AI can replicate them relatively reliably. There isn't much technique or composition to works like that, at which point it's more guesswork than knowing which one is made by a computer. However, everything that exceeds the simplicity of a bunch of geometric figures or a flower bouquet like the surrealist archway or van Gogh's Sunflowers looks just awful if an AI tries to imitate it.
Then again, these things look awful and pointless to the general consumer too, so I guess with how hyped AI is among the techbros constantly defending it under posts like this one, art will become even more elitist than it already is and the simpleton consumers will be fed by a tireless AI prompt algorithm like they're unworthy of the love and care a real human puts into designs and artworks.
How anyone could want that escapes me. Then again, much of what's happening in the world these days escapes me.

The point is misdirected here. Not that AI art is bad or good. A robot can fix good soup vs your mom fixing good soup. But which do you want? Also AI art is not unique. Your mom's soup is unique. This bowl of chicken noodle might taste like somewhat others, but it is still unique to her. The AI art is unique to nothing. It is reproducible to infinity. One might call it soul instead of uniqueness. Or love or even that life is infused into the soup or the art. In the article, take the picture of Kennedy for example. AI art is nice and that is the end of the story. In fact, there is NO story. But the artist might have a story. "I painted this the afternoon when he found out that his son has just learned how to pitch softball underhanded, properly. He was so full of pride that day." No AI can infuse a painting or any artwork with emotion. All it can do is lay down lines, shapes and colors. Maybe we can add our interpretations to it later, but that it all. If you want miscellaneous colors and shapes, AI will be fine, if you want art, turn to a human for that.

Marginally better than random guess and they aren't even the trickiest samples. The Kennedy image I was like, this is a trick question right? Nope, it wasn't. Well.. that's the point of AI image generation, it's supposed to be hard to tell the difference.

Many mothers pass off canned soup as home made lol.
The story of an AI art is the story of the prompter - why did they want to make that particular image.
Sure, they do not have full control of the result, but if they did not approve they could always discard it and make another.

>A robot can fix good soup vs your mom fixing good soup. But which do you want?
Definitely the robot soup. I've had a lot of "made with love" meals that were frankly worse than what I can get out of a can or a frozen box. "Made with love" doesn't actually cover for a steak cooked till it's gray and dead, or a cake that's dry and tasteless.
If you have a mom that can make great soup, congratulations. You are lucky and you should enjoy that. A lot of people don't have that. They might not even have a mom. For them, the robot soup is better than the bad soup or no soup that they would get otherwise.
Most people consume most visual media for the "colors and shapes", not for the artist's story or emotion. The vast majority of the time, we don't even know the artist's story or emotion.
Campbell's and Boyardee didn't replace Gordon Ramsay and never will. But they did allow millions of people to have acceptable, low-cost food, which they would otherwise not have had access to.

Can someone explain to me what "AI art" really is or how it works? Can "any" AI just create "any" imagine, or are they very specific e.g. a specific AI to create fake photos?
And how do these AIs do it? Do they just have a lot of snippets of pictures or pixels or what?
Because surely no AI really creates these pieces of art completely from scratch and out of their "imaginations"..

18 correct. But this response was so stupid in #11!
“Both of these images show two people in close proximity, but only one of them tells a story: the photograph of a man and a woman in love and showing physical affection. The AI image, meanwhile, doesn’t tell us anything about the relationship of the two people.”
Annoying. We are evaluating art not relationships. A human could just as easily draw, paint or photograph a boring scene.

21/21 (on mobile) But I spent a few years in an art atelier and I'm also familiar with digital art and photography. I also scan fine art for a living.
The blue in the Degas ballerina painting was a dead giveaway.
The JFK portrait was easy if you're familiar with how film photography looks -- the grain just has a certain look to it.
The background in the sumi scroll made no sense.
Photos made me think a bit longer, but the composition (and hands, of course) gave away the AI images. The volcano photo, for instance -- the human captured one has more depth in both the scene and subject (caldera in the foreground, mountain in the distance with more layers of atmosphere). Boring flat composition with no real focal point or visual narrative gave away the bot images.

Shiningc t1_j2c3pl8 wrote
It just trains the program to look for similarities, and then make the program mash the images together.
For example, you show the program an image of an Apple and label it “Apple”. The program doesn’t “know” that it’s an apple, it just looks for patterns that looks like that image. If you make the program go through thousands of images, then it might have thousands of ways of drawing an apple.
In the same way, you might make the program “learn” a “bear eating”. So if you input “a bear eating an apple”, then you might output an image where it might look like a bear is about to eat an apple.
Obviously, humans are much more flexible than that. All it has to do is learn what an apple and a bear is, and it can draw an infinite pattern of art with those two items. Or it can be a completely new style of art. Fact is, we don’t “learn” how to draw stick figures for example, yet we do. We don’t just imitate reality like the AI does.
We THINK that we’re drawing people when we’re drawing stick figures. They’re our imperfect yet approximate figures of humans. We’re not copying, we’re estimating. That’s what it means by drawing from scratch.
