    It’s a snat. They are not easy to catch, because they are fast. Also, they never land on their shell.

    I don’t get it. Maybe it’s right? Maybe a human made this?

    The picture doesn’t have to be “real”, it just has to be non-AI. Maybe this was made in Blender and Photoshop or something.

    There are a bunch of reasons why this could happen. First, it’s possible to “attack” some simpler image classification models; if you get a large enough sample of their outputs, you can mathematically derive a way to process any image such that it won’t be correctly identified. There have also been reports that even simpler processing, such as blending a real photo of a wall with a synthetic image at very low percent, can trip up detectors that haven’t been trained to be more discerning. But it’s all in how you construct the training dataset, and I don’t think any of this is a good enough reason to give up on using machine learning for synthetic media detection in general; in fact this example gives me the idea of using autogenerated captions as an additional input to the classification model. The challenge there, as in general, is trying to keep such a model from assuming that all anime is synthetic, since “AI artists” seem to be overly focused on anime and related styles…

      Where the fuck are you from that they aren’t called catsnails? Odd. Been catsnails here since I can remember.

    I mean, it could be a manual photoshop job. Just because it’s not AI doesn’t mean it’s real.

    But also the detector is probably wrong - it’s likely an AI image using a different model than the detector was trained to detect.

      It could, but the double spiral in the shell indicates AI to me. Snail shells don’t grow like that. If it was a manual job, they would have used a picture of a real shell.

      Edit: plus the cat head looks weird where it connects to the head, and the markings don’t look right to me.

        Also the fact that the grain on the side of the shell is perpendicular to the grain on the top, and it changes where the cat ear comes up in front of it.

        Very telltale sign of AI is a change of pattern in something when a foreground object splits it.

        Not saying it’s always a guarantee, but it’s a common quirk and it’s pretty easy to identify.

        Agreed. The aggressive depth of field is another smoking gun that usually indicates an AI image.

      There were a lot of really good images like that well before AI. Anyone remember Photoshop Friday?

    Well duh it detects AI generated images that are at scale and that snail cat is way too small for it
