AI painter Midjourmey created a picture of a Chinese girl reading anewspaper. Can you recognize Al-made pictures?
Mark Zuckerberg wears a pink coat and walks the runway (时装秀伸展台). Former US president Donald Trump falls over while gettingarrested (逮捕). These pictures have recently gone popular online. Theyhave one thing in common-they are fake, but look like they are real.

However, AI tools are not perfect. News medias, including the Washington Post and the Papergave some tips on telling fake pictures.
One way is to look at hands. Al often draws human hands incorrectly. Sometimes the number offingers is wrong, and sometimes the shape looks strange. The photos AI uses to learn often showhands in different ways, so it isn't sure what a "hand" really looks like.
We can also pay attention to the details. For example,people in an Al-made image may miss anearring or a part of their glasses. If there's a text in an image, such as a poster, the text is usuallyunreadable.
Al is also terrible at dealing with the background. If there'sa crowd in the image, people's faces inthe corner are usually unclear -or they don't have a face at all!
