Real Person or Deepfake? Can You Tell?

A new study reveals a significant challenge in distinguishing real from AI-generated images, with only 61% of participants accurately identifying them—far below the anticipated 85%. The study involved 260 people evaluating 20 photos, half sourced from Google and half produced by AI programs like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E, focusing on details like fingers, eyes, and teeth to make their judgments.
