Can you tell which images are AI-generated?

    My most effective strategy is to ask: is there any reason for a human to take this picture?

    One AI-generated image was a bedside night stand, with no clutter other than a set of keys on top of a receipt. It looked perfectly real, no glitches or weirdness... other than the idea of someone taking a picture of it.

    Not a perfect strategy, though; I thought this one was AI for just that reason: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commons.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;File:Potted_plant_1_2018-10-09.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commons.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;File:Potted_plant_1_2018-...

      There are tons of real stock photos with that type of mundane content.

        Stock photos and AI images might as well be in the same category tbh.
