That's a helpful checklist! Just tried on this image from a recent post about an AI-generated game video:
Good quote, indeed they're getting hard to spot, it made a very realistic face for the guy... I guess all I can do is practice to at least spot the most obvious ones. Surely they'll be used a lot for misinformation in the coming decade, I want to be prepared.
That guys's hood is tattered in a very specific, odd way. The fabric also has an oddly smooth texture.
The face also lit wrongly (it’s winter, it will be whiter), the edges of cloth are wrong, the shoulder is giant actually
Another tell-tale sign of AI is that things that should be aligned are not. If you look at the rear view mirror, you can see how the small switch at the bottom is placed off-center.
AI usually sucks at doing parallel lines and repetitive patterns. It is weird to have a grille where the glove compartment should be but if you look closer at that grille it is complete nonsense. It is the same thing with the A column that is an inconsistent mess.
Next one... I think here, the main tell would be how the bridge disappears into nothingness? The thing the other people in this thread mentioned about little details being wrong. And the way how the metal rods that make up the bridge are unnaturally blurry/squiggly/whatever.
The reflection in the lake might be wrong, too, but I don't really know how that's supposed to look. Guy's face is a little blurry, but I could be convinced that that's bad camera settings if not for the bridge. He's wearing a clothing that doesn't have buttons. Right hand looks normal, but left hand is unnaturally tiny, even if well-formed.
Wears a wire under a shirt, lips are slightly unusual if you look at them, elbow on the right hand seems slightly too long, skin is smooth on neck, but that’s whatever. But background is more obvious.
But also, these two images are done very shittily, you can do compositing and layering so background won’t be blurry and anatomy wouldn’t be so wrong
Nice catch! The line across the bridge of the nose is a definite tell. You mentioned glasses, and I think the AI pulled from images of some people with glasses and some without, so it generated the bridge but rest of them.
I think that red thingy on the house is their attempt at putting a basketball hoop on the garage.
