In the rapidly advancing technologies of the digital age, AI-generated photos are becoming increasingly sophisticated. This makes it harder to distinguish between real images and those created by artificial intelligence. In this context, an interesting test developed by Reddit user Darien-B allows you to test yourself.
AI makes it difficult to distinguish photos from reality
Hosted on the non-profit website Objectively.foundation, this test presents participants with 10 different questions. Each question features two images: one is a real photo, and the other is a specially generated visual by AI. The aim of the test is to challenge users’ critical thinking and visual analysis skills to see if they can differentiate between AI content and real images.
Especially in the digital revolution and AI era, our abilities to think critically and remain objective are under greater threat than ever. While humanity has faced various dilemmas regarding these concepts throughout history, the advancement of AI has made these issues more debatable.
The test developed by Darien-B provides significant insights if you fail to surpass the 50% threshold, highlighting how interesting the era we live in truly is. The inability to distinguish a real, unmanipulated image from a fake one, despite seeing it with your own eyes, offers a chilling vision of what we might experience in the future.
