How to tell fake AI images: These 5 methods will show you the difference
Photo Credit: Unsplash AI images have increased the risk of misinformation and fake news. But all is not lost! There are some ways to tell them apart from real images.
Photo Credit: Unsplash Take a look at the overall design of an artwork. Oftentimes, an AI-generated image will not be logically consistent, and you will notice some functional flaws.

Photo Credit: Unsplash Look for imperfections. This one works well when the image is of a human or a real-world object.
Photo Credit: Unsplash If the human has flawlessly blended skin, a perfect set of teeth, or just wide but unnatural eyes, they could be generated by AI. Additionally, such images will have a low-resolution background.
Photo Credit: Pexels Look for anomalies. Since the AI generates images based on word prompts, it is simply trying to put together images from its database that closely resemble the prompt.
Photo Credit: Unsplash This means irregularities will be common. A human with six fingers, a necklace that goes nowhere, or a car whose tyres appear to be fused with the road are all signs of AI-generated images.
Photo Credit: Pexels Look for expressions and artistic narratives. Human-generated photos will tell a story, whether it is of a human expression or a narrative being shown.
Photo Credit: Unsplash While AI can show a narrative, a dead sign to figure them out is that images either appear to lack any creativity or the expressions are so one-dimensional that they appear flat.
