AI Hyperrealism: When AI Is Realer Than Real

The video discusses how to identify AI-generated images by looking for strange details or errors. It highlights the phenomenon of AI hyper realism, where AI-generated faces are often perceived as more human than real ones. The video suggests conducting experiments to explore this further but notes the challenge of distinguishing between real and AI-generated images online. It recommends taking real photos and using AI tools to generate images for accurate experiments.

What are some indicators that an image might be AI-generated?

• Natural-looking eyes

• Consistent lighting across the image

• Strange marks around accessories like glasses

• Perfect symmetry in facial features

What is AI hyper realism?

• A technique to enhance image quality

• A phenomenon where AI faces are mistaken for real human faces
