10/10… but then I worked in VFX and CGI for the better part of my career. Let’s see how my partner does.

9/10 and got the hieroglyphs wrong.

The more you look, the harder it gets. Just go with your intuition. If it looks like a Unity game engine screenshot, it's fake.

I was looking for even better quizes TBH because I have played and seen images by some new tools (Ideogram, Modjourney etc) and for some images (shared on their respective community networks) you have to look very very closely to spot issues.

Found a few more quizes here. See if you get full score here too.

The NBC quiz was a bit silly - "would Degas have used such loud blues?" when one ballerina's arm has melted into another one's shoulder. And the "wrong hair texture" for the woman on the right in #20 could just as well be a stylistic choice rather than indicating an ML-generated image.

Real or Fake is a better test because it doesn't give you 2 easy to compare images. It gives you one image and you have to compare to your own memory.

I got 10/10 and I know exactly zero about VFX and CGI. I did it really fast too. The only one that I hesitated was the aurora borealis.

That said, this isn't some sort of great victory. I expect that soon my intuition won't be good enough. Telling AI from real will never get easier, it will only ever get harder.

8/10 here with no such experience and just clicking on instinct without trying to analyze the picture. The rocket launch and Mt Fuji are the two I missed. I think I would've also gotten at least the rocket launch had I bothered to zoom in (did this on mobile).
