Real or Fake AI Image Game
Spot the fake image generated by Artificial Intelligence! Our game challenges you to identify and distinguish AI-generated deepfakes from real photos.
How to Spot an AI Image: A Quick Guide
Look for Garbled Text
AI often fails to create coherent text. Any lettering in the background on signs, books, or clothing might appear warped or nonsensical.
Inspect Skin and Hair Texture
AI-generated skin can look unrealistic. Hair might appear like solid strands or merge unnaturally with the background.
Examine Symmetrical Features
Look for perfect symmetry, which is rare in real life, or strange asymmetry. Check if earrings match or if patterns on clothing are consistent.
Check the Hands and Fingers
AI models famously struggle with hands. Look for an incorrect number of fingers, unnatural joints, or strange, waxy textures.
Question the Background
Often, the main subject is well-rendered, but the background is a distorted or nonsensical mess. Look for warped objects or strange logic.
Analyze Light and Shadows
Check if the lighting is consistent. Shadows should fall logically away from light sources. Mismatched or missing shadows are a big red flag.
