How to recognise an AI-generated image
AI images are getting better every month, and they are used for fake profiles on dating apps and social networks. These details still give many of them away:
Hands and fingers
Extra or missing fingers, joints that bend the wrong way, hands that melt into objects.
Teeth and eyes
Teeth that blend together, pupils of different shapes, reflections that do not match.
Skin that is too perfect
No pores, no small marks, a plastic shine. Real skin has texture, even with make-up.
Hair and edges
Strands that dissolve into the background or the shoulders, blurry outlines around the head.
Jewelry and accessories
Earrings that do not match, necklaces that disappear, straps that go nowhere.
Background and text
Bent lines, objects that make no sense, and letters that look like writing but are not.

Is the Real or AI game free?
Yes. The game is completely free, with no sign-up, no download and no payment. It works in any browser, on phone and computer.
How does the game work?
You see one photo at a time and choose "Real" or "AI". Each right answer is worth one point and each wrong answer costs one, so guessing at random does not pay. You have 60 seconds to score as many points as you can. After each answer, the game shows you whether the image was real or AI-generated.
Where do the images come from?
The game has 980 images in six themes: people, animals, food, landscapes, sports, and cities & objects. In every theme, half are real photos and half were created with AI image generators. All images have the same format and size, so the frame does not give the answer away.
What is the daily challenge?
Every day there are 10 new images, the same for every player. You have no time limit. At the end you get a result grid you can share without spoiling the answers.
What is a good score?
Accuracy matters more than speed. If you get more than 8 out of 10 right, you have a very good eye: many AI portraits are now hard to tell apart from real photos.
How can I tell if a photo is AI-generated?
Look at the hands, teeth, eyes, skin texture, hair edges, jewelry and background text. AI often makes small mistakes there. Our guide explains each clue with examples of what to check.
Can AI detectors tell real from AI?
Tools such as Hive Moderation, Illuminarty or AI or Not can help, but none of them is 100% reliable. Checking the source of the photo, a reverse image search and Content Credentials (C2PA) are also useful.
