Edgar Cervantes from Android Authority discusses how recent advancements in machine learning have made it easy for anyone to create fake images using AI image generators like Midjourney, Microsoft Designer, and DALL-E 3. These images can easily manipulate people and spread misinformation. However, there are strategies we can use to spot AI-generated images.
One key technology behind AI image generators is the combination of large language models and diffusion models. While these tools can create convincing images, they often leave behind subtle signs that give them away. Some things to look out for include anatomical features, unnatural hair, garbled text, shadows and lighting, smooth skin and surfaces, and out-of-focus backgrounds.
If you’re unsure whether an image is AI-generated, you can use AI image detection services like WasItAI or AI or Not to check its authenticity. Alternatively, you can try reverse image search on Google to see if the image has been manipulated or edited. These tools can help you determine if an image is real or generated by AI.
