5 Telltale Signs That a Photo Is AI-generated

While diffusion models, or artificial intelligence systems that create images from text prompts, are a simple way to make realistic-looking images, they still have a long way to go before they can churn out foolproof replicas of actual photographs. These tools leave digital artifacts and introduce implausible signs that they are being synthesized. Matt Groh and his colleagues have identified five categories of artifacts and implausibilities to help people tell the difference between real and AI-generated images: anatomical implausibilities, stylistic artifacts, functional implausibilities, violations of physics, and sociocultural implausibilities.
