Real or Fake? Tips and Tools for Identifying AI-Generated Images
Artificial intelligence imagery is getting harder and harder to spot. In the best case scenario, we end up simply laughing at a funny moment that never actually happened. In the worst case, we buy into misinformation that warps our perception of what’s actually going on in the world. So, as technology continues moving at the speed of light, how do we keep up with the changes? Ironically, AI can help with that. As Popular Science points out, one way to determine if a photo has been produced using Google’s Gemini is to upload the image in Gemini and ask, “Was this picture created with AI?” That’s because every image Gemini creates or edits gets an invisible digital watermark called a SynthID that the AI model can detect. Remember, though, that this works specifically on Gemini with Google AI-created images. When we asked ChatGPT if an image we manipulated with Gemini was AI, the chatbot wasn’t able to detect the SynthID and reported that the picture appeared genuine. And Gemini may have difficulty detecting whether or not an image was created by another AI model. If you’re in doubt, it’s best to take a multi-pronged approach to identification. Luckily, there are other tips, tricks, and digital tools for spotting AI imagery.
