AI Images and how to Flag them?

@tiwane

Can you please specify? Are you saying the entire image was completely AI-generated? That’s different from real photos that have used some sort of AI-derived generative fill.

@wildskyflower

I do recall at least one case a while ago where a real photo was so heavily enhanced with photoshop (e.g. sharpening filters) that it led to a debate if it was AI generated or not.

@sbushes

This is with Krea.ai :

Here it seems key features remain correct.
But, for example, the number of wing feathers appears to change considerably!

@upupa-epops

I’d be appalled to come across that while identifying and mark it as no evidence of organism. There’s no way to tell whether or not it was created completely from scratch with AI.

This is a really hard line to draw. There are AI filters that only sharpen images (as discussed in that thread). But this flycatcher image was also only “updated” from a real image but the AI introduced obvious inaccurate features. That was 5 months ago, and probably now AI could generate a more realistic image from scratch.
