What gives AI sports photos away
Equipment
Rackets with odd strings, bikes with broken chains or spokes, balls that are not quite round.
Numbers and logos
Shirt numbers, sponsor logos and scoreboards with garbled letters and digits.
Hands and feet
Fingers around a ball or bar, and feet in shoes: AI often merges or adds them.
The crowd
Faces in the background melt into each other or have no features at all.
Motion
Real action has motion blur, sweat and splashes. AI action can look frozen and too clean.
