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 changed slightly! 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

    This is what I was suspecting. People are just guessing. I have had people adamantly claim pictures that I took were AI generated and that I was lying when I said they weren’t. I see people on the internet constantly pull reasons out of their ass of why something is AI generated, saying “a real artist wouldn’t make this mistake,” but my wife has made those exact mistakes before.

      I feel for you. A few people said the human art I put in the survey were lackluster but I thought they were pretty good, not everyone is an S-tier artist.

      77% of people guessed this was AI generated, and a friend of mine kept saying it was weird and inconsistent so “I doubt a real artist would put random food in the back”

      It’s actually a cropped image of https://www.deviantart.com/tsaoshin/art/Strawberry-Taiyaki-Cat-905271835 . I wouldn’t want to be an artist right now.

          Anyone who says “a real X wouldn’t…” where X is any profession, is really clueless about anything that X do. Though it is particularly true for artists, I’ll admit

            I feel like most professionals in a discipline say ‘a real X would absolutely be so stupid as to…’ instead. They have seen every mistake the profession can offer.

            Yes, developers would absolutely delete production databases even after you told them to triple check. Yes, artists absolutely would start a world war over racism. Yerp, archers would absolutely try to off themselves with a bow. And oh dear would car drivers absolutely drive into oncoming traffic and honk because everyone seems to drive on the wrong side.

            People make mistakes and do stupid shit all the time. Maybe we should treat them like we treat AIs, just throw them away when they fucked up? 🙃

        That or even every image being human generated. See all the reasons people come up with to explain why they thought human generated art was AI generated.
