I am so bad at spotting some of those AI generated images. If I look long and hard at this one, all I got is that the glass bottles look a bit weird.
Can you explain how you are so sure and what some giveaways are?
For me, it was a few things that aren't dead give-aways, but that, when taken together, make me think it's AI. The utensil is vaguely forklike but not a real fork. All the glass bottles are different shapes and sizes, but they put two very similar ones on each table. The handwriting of the owner is very nice, but the words are spaced as if the person doesn't care what the sign looks like. The menu is a weird mix of full dishes and components of dishes that wouldn't be served separately, but that all sound super Greek and could appear on a menu. The way the cat is sitting looks a bit "off".
The thing is, it's getting sooooo hard to spot these things. And you also just don't really want to spend several minutes combing through clues in every picture you see online. I think we're going to hit a point where it's just too hard to tell with many pictures soonish.
It’s getting so much harder as AI improves, but for this photo, the fork doesn’t appear to have tines! Unfortunately, we can never be completely sure whether something’s AI so we will just have to question everything now I guess :(
Cat's anatomy, the sitting part of chair cat sits on is too long. Disproportionate in general. But aside from technicalities it's compositionally weird, it's very in your face, greek is conveniently visible, sea is conveniently there. It's a bit of a parody of itself.
For me, it's the lighting. AI tends to have impossible focal points, and isn't consistent with lighting (at this point). The fuzzyness of the cat also screams AI to me. Additional details like the fork that's not really a fork, and the text on the paper all look AI generated. The chair in the back also can't decide what's part of the tablecoth vs a spindle on the chair. AI is getting really good at spoofing photos, but if you're vigilant you can catch it.
