AI Images vs. Real Photos: Can Pro Photographers Tell the Difference?
Just as photography changed drawings and paintings, AI will forever change our photos. Our phones and cameras have used AI to improve photos for years. Now there’s generative AI that powers tools and services like Dall-E, Midjourney, Firefly, and Lensa AI and can create photos from scratch with nothing more than a prompt. We challenged…

She comes from a line of ceramic artists stretching back generations and, as part of her multidisciplinary work, she also builds custom lowrider cars. (If that sounds like a contradiction, that’s kind of…

i don’t think it is too hard to tell the difference to be honest.
The images are nice enough to present but even the slightest amount of zoom shows that the images lack depth have the smoothing effect.
They do not pass the uncanny calley, it almost feels like video game rendered people and focusing for just a moment would help with weeding out what is real.
Lastly real photos have leave traces of chaotic random scenery that AI images do not reproduce well.

For now. But what about in 5 years?

@milo I think once video games surpass the uncanny valley then AI will too.
It would be interesting to see that happen in the next 5 years but I don’t think it will.

The point made at 07:28 is key. We probably need to read everything about Pablo Picasso & his contemporaries adaptations to painting vs photography. (NatGeo’s genius season 2 & especially Picasso’s War How Modern Art Came to America) Sometime downstream we will hopefully get the next Salvador Dalí?

I wish you showed the complete images. It’s obvious that these photo are cropped. Cropping leaves a lot of the evidence of manipulation out.

Feel that a new standard should be developed when it comes to recording images. Each and every image should be digitally signed in such a way that if it is altered from the original, it would be able to be detected. If you can think about it, eventually things like this can be done. Standards, standards, standards.

Regarding ai. We need a bill of rights that protects our likeness. We should also revise slander laws to emcompass false or modified images.

Photoshop destroyed the authenticity of photographs.
AI only makes it easier to generate deeper more complex illusions.
I couldn’t wait for “information at your finger tips” (IBM circa 1984),
totally naive to the fact that our society has not developed an adequate definition of “truth”.

Ai needs to be HEAVILY legislated. It is very dangerous imo.

This entire AI “photography” movement is wrong. If you didn’t get the right pose or somehow the shot didn’t come out then that’s it, it didn’t come out. Anything AI does for you after that point is a waste because it didn’t happen in this time and space. It’s not real. Nothing is better the truth of the moment. Any rewards on offer are hollow. Silly cosmetic things are one thing but AI generated “photos” of Isreal/Palestine war are on another level of shame that cannot be photoshopped out.
