I was pretty dead on with photos of people. Especially if they're in color.

And it's not just a hand thing. There's often an element of surreal excess or a kind of uncanny valley/plasticy thing going on. If I had to point something out, it would be skin. AI seems to be bad at generating skin, it has a slightly cartoony look to it. If I were to venture a guess, it's because of the number of photos out there filtered to shit.

I was the worst at macro(?) landscape photography. I think that's what it is. Whatever it is when you essentially take a picture from far away, but zoom in and focus so the foreground and background are both in focus. That's close to 50/50.



Yes, zooming in on skin usually helps a lot to recognize raw GenAI outputs.

The examples chosen in this test were not collected to be very adversarial, and no additional processing was done.
