Original survey link: https://forms.gle/7Bu3Tyi5fufmY8Vc8

Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!

Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.

People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.

Edit 2: The data has slightly changed! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they've gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

Thank you so much for sharing the results. Very interesting to see the outcome after participating in the survey.

Out of interest: do you know how many participants came from Lemmy compared to other platforms?

[–] popcar2@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

No idea, but I would assume most results are from here since Lemmy is where I got the most attention and feedback.

I guess I should feel good with my 12/20 since it's better than average.

I did 12 and I thought it was a pretty bad result. Apparently I was wrong!

I tried to answer by instinct, without careful examination, to make it more realistic

15 here and when I reviewed the answers I realized most were sheer luck.

The fact that it's a clean gaussian shows that it's mostly luck anyway.

What I learnt is that I’m bad at that task.

[–] crawley@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It'd be interesting to also see the two non-AI images the most people thought were.

Oof. I got about 65% on the images I hadn’t seen in the post. I must be pretty close to being replaceable by an adversarial network.

You put 'tell' twice in the title 😅

I got 11/20 and there were a couple of guesses in there that I got right and wrong. Funny how there are some man-made ones that seem like AI. I think it's the blurry/fuzziness maybe?

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

I would second the comment from the original post which said that they didn't pay much attention in the latter half.

[–] Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Interesting. So you've given us a 50/ 50 chance. Usually you've given us the art that was used and then the AI has attempted it's own version? Did you train the ai using the art ?

Are you allowed to do that ? Is the art in the public sphere?

I have no knowledge or understanding of ai.

To me 4 was pretty obvious as a lot of the lines made no sense, such as the ones right below her face.

Also, is there a correlation between image generator and accuracy?

[–] Caaaaarrrrlll@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Can people tell tell

[–] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Is there any chance that the human artists experimented with AI and posted the result along with their usual work? :)

[–] Teodomo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Huh, I felt the 12/20 was a bit low but I guess not so much. As someone that has never used an image generator (or an LLM for that matter, chatGPT not even once baby) nor has actually worked at tech (though I have been learning programming on my own) and doesn't even know how to draw... I guess I didn't do too bad.

[–] danque@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

8/20 and I use it everyday. I got all humans correct, but the landscape and stylistic images is what I got wrong. Ai is getting good.

That avocado and tomato post took me out, that and the Legos. Very impressive.

The most obvious ai one for me was the last cat picture, somehow it just screamed ai
