French immigrants are eating our pets!

A picture of a tool to detect AI-generated photos. The photo is a snail with a cat head and it says "not likely to be AI-generated or Deepfake". Showing a 2% of chances to be AI-generated.

    There were a lot of really good images like that well before AI. Anyone remember Photoshop Friday?

    I mean, it could be a manual photoshop job.

    It could, but the double spiral in the shell indicates AI to me. Snail shells don't grow like that. If it was a manual job, they would have used a picture of a real shell.

    Edit: plus the cat head looks weird where it connects to the head, and the markings don't look right to me.

    Also the fact that the grain on the side of the shell is perpendicular to the grain on the top, and it changes where the cat ear comes up in front of it.

    Very telltale sign of AI is a change of pattern in something when a foreground object splits it.

    Not saying it's always a guarantee, but it's a common quirk and it's pretty easy to identify.

    …you know people made fake pictures before image generation, right?

    Ignorant Americans, never even heard of the common snailcat

    I have two of those cats. I still can't catch them when its time to go to bed.

    I don't get it. Maybe it's right? Maybe a human made this?

    The picture doesn't have to be "real", it just has to be non-AI. Maybe this was made in Blender and Photoshop or something.

    No spooky eyes, no extra limbs, no eery smile? - 100% real, genuine photograph! 👍

    It's a snat. They are not easy to catch, because they are fast. Also, they never land on their shell.

    I wanted to get a cat but I discovered I was allergic to the slime trail.

    Such a cute kitty snail! Can you post just the picture?

    That's a normal housecat. Not sure what people are confused about

    Well duh it detects AI generated images that are at scale and that snail cat is way too small for it

    Clearly AI is on the verge of taking over the world.

    It has been 0 days since classified military gene research has been leaked by interrogating ai detecting models

    My guess is the AI was trained on a combination of cat videos and sponge bob.

    honestly, its pretty good, and it still works if I use a lower resolution screenshot without metadata (I haven't tried adding noise, or overlaying something else but those might break it). This is pixelwave, not midjourney though.

    There are a bunch of reasons why this could happen. First, it's possible to "attack" some simpler image classification models; if you get a large enough sample of their outputs, you can mathematically derive a way to process any image such that it won't be correctly identified. There have also been reports that even simpler processing, such as blending a real photo of a wall with a synthetic image at very low percent, can trip up detectors that haven't been trained to be more discerning. But it's all in how you construct the training dataset, and I don't think any of this is a good enough reason to give up on using machine learning for synthetic media detection in general; in fact this example gives me the idea of using autogenerated captions as an additional input to the classification model. The challenge there, as in general, is trying to keep such a model from assuming that all anime is synthetic, since "AI artists" seem to be overly focused on anime and related styles...

    So only 2% "not likely to be AI-generated or deepfake"... that means that it's almost definitely AI, got it!? :-P

    Honestly, they should fight fire with fire? Another vision model (like Qwen VL) would catch this

    You can ask it "does this image seem fake?" and it would look at it, reason something out and conclude it's fake, instead of... I dunno, looking for smaller patters or whatever their internal model does?
