Only one is real. I know this because I took it myself.
My photo is of two Bottlenose Dolphin leaping out of the water at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys.
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 dolphin is:
Image #1
Some clues that give away the AI images:
đ 1. Water Splash Logic
Real (Image #1): The splash is chaotic and unpredictable, with smaller droplets spraying in all directions and a clearly visible wake where the dolphins left the water.
AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) is basically when computers get smartâreally smart. Imagine if your c... More (Images #2, #3, #4): The water splashes are too neat or feel copied. In #3 and #4, the splash forms a âperfect Vâ under each dolphinâway too symmetrical to be real. In #2, the water lift looks unnaturally sharp, like it was rendered.
đŹ 2. Dolphin Anatomy
Real: The dolphins in #1 have natural muscle definition, realistic fins, and believable motion. Their bodies are slightly different from each other (as you’d expect).
AI: In #3 and #4 especially, the dolphins are too smooth and shiny, almost like rubber toys. In #2, one dolphinâs flipper blends oddly into its body, and their shapes are eerily similar.
đď¸ 3. Background and Structures
Real: The background in #1 is detailed but not overly sharp, with natural lighting and people casually interacting in the scene.
AI: In #2â#4, some structures look off.
đ 4. People and Details
Real: Image #1 includes people clearly interacting with the environmentâstanding naturally, with believable posture, lighting, and clothing folds.
AI: None of the other images have visible people. AI often skips people or blurs them out entirely to avoid drawing attention to anatomical inconsistencies.
The Dolphin Research Center is a hidden gem of the Florida Keys. The non-for-profit does incredible work with both dolphins and humans. Find out what makes this place so special in this short video:
