Okay, I wanted to know if I could do this and had a look if I could find a game or something like that. Turns out, yes, I could find one. And yes, I can see it. I got 19 of 20 right on medium difficulty for a start. I'll try some different combinations but it surprised me how fast I was.
I'm definitely not gen z
Edit: and the site is a wild mix of languages for me. But it'll do.
That website is vibecoded slop, it's also using AI detection to determine if things are AI or not.
Images that are clearly AI get weird explanations that have nothing to do with the image, like I got an AI image of an owl sitting in a hole in a plaster wall, and it said it was AI because the snow was too uniform? There was no snow. Absolute slop.
After your description I'm not clicking the link, but it sounds like using that website is failing a bigger picture fake or real test.
I used it the site is garbage but the image test does actually do the job. Like as long as you ignore the weird comments about "why" the photos are labeled correctly. But despite the thing saying there are 700+ photos I kept getting repeats in the same quiz.
I tried it, also got 19/20
Easy Mode Mixed:
Ultra mode Nano Banana:
It took me a bit to get used to the new model with Nano Banana when I started I wasn't sure but after a couple I could tell.
I did hard portraits first and got 15/20 Then I did medium and got 17/20
What is going on with that language mix? Did they vibe code this using different libraries and not set the global language variable?
On easy mode. Damn, just the accuracy of random clicking. I hate this BS, AI is indistinguishable nowadays. Luckily i already assume everything is faked.
Though that makes me wonder. How much attention are people giving to random images regularly?
Like within the 20sec window on easy mode, i couldn't really find telltale signs, excluding one pic with an anomaly. Maybe with few minutes i could find some signs, but that's already beyond the the attention and effort that a random picture deserves.
This is fascinating to me. Like, I got 90% every time, and I wasn't really analyzing at all, just going by feel. Most of the time I answered within the first 2 or 3 seconds. And I'm not saying that to brag because I genuinely have no idea what we were doing differently. Like if you asked me to teach you I'd just be vaguely gesturing and shrugging helplessly. It's just vibes.
I want to see someone do a study on this. Why is it that some people instantly discern most AI images as feeling wrong somehow and other people don't? What is the common factor here?
I do agree that it's fascinating and I'm rather curious why is it that way. Lacking this ability seems to make me especially vulnerable to AI manipulation.
Like for me there isn't any different vibe or feeling between AI or human made pictures. Those are all the same. I have to carful scrutiny every picture to find stereotypical AI anomalies. For example text on the background being in alien language or random lines, some object on the picture not making sense aka straight line disappearing after going behind some object (continuity) or items melting into one or the old one of too many fingers, but with image compression algorithms, the background anomalies can sometimes become indistinguishable from just background blur and anomalies are getting rarer and rarer.
That link. They won't let us play it unless we accept cookies and enter our personal information.
I didn't have to create an account and could decline cookies
Lucky you. My go button was grayed out and unclickable unless I accepted cookies or give them my information so I left.
Oh, I think it's tried this for me after the third game or so. Then I just closed the incognito tab and opened a new one.
