Below are 4 images.
Only one is real. I know this because I took it myself.
My photo was taken of a juggling lesson in Bryant Park – behind the New York City Public Library.
The other 3 images are AI-generated. I created them using Ideogram.ai and ChatGPTChatGPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI, designed to understand and generate human... More.
Which one do you think is the real image? See the answer below!
The real image of the jugglers is:
Image #3
Some clues that give away the AI images:
👥 1. People and Poses
- Real (Image #3): Everyone in the scene looks like a real person caught mid-action—natural poses, realistic expressions, and a bit of motion blur on the juggling.
-
AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is basically when computers get smart—really smart. Imagine if your c... More (Images #1, #2, #4): Look closely:
- In #1, the juggler’s arm and hand positions don’t quite line up with the club in the air.
- In #4, the clubs defy physics (check the guy tossing the green one in the background—it’s almost vertical with no arc).
- In #2, the hand positions are awkward, and one person’s arm looks a bit melted.
🪄 2. Juggling Clubs Gone Wrong
- Real: In #3, the clubs are clearly defined and follow believable trajectories.
-
AI: In other images:
- Clubs may have inconsistent sizing (#1).
- Some float with no blur at all (#4).
- In #2, one club doesn’t have a handle.
✋ 3. Hands and Fingers
- Real: In #3, the jugglers’ fingers are well-formed, gripping the clubs naturally.
- AI: AI still struggles with hands! In #1 and #2, some fingers are stubby or fused. In #4, hands look like they’re “hovering” near the props instead of actually gripping them.
🌆 4. Crowd and Background
- Real: In #3, the crowd in the background is varied and expressive—some juggling, some standing, some reaching down to grab props. It feels alive.
- AI: In #1, #2, and #4, background people often repeat poses or blend oddly into their surroundings. In #2, one background person’s hand just vanishes.
