I'm trying to school myself on some stuff.
I'll add some links talking about this but I'm also inquiring for your feedback. Cheers.

Pretty much all articles are saying the same, I don't want to use software if I don't have to
Also this came up in related search and it's kinda over my head: https://ai-alignment.com/can-we-efficiently-distinguish-different-mechanisms-690abcc0fba9 is it related? I dunno
I'll keep looking but it's sparse. I would be interested in new search platforms if you have some. Primarily using presearch.org right now.
Edit: so we use AI to tell us about AI? Are we sure they won't lie? I don't buy... https://www.inkey.ai/blog/revolutionizing-content-authenticity-inkey-unveils-its-groundbreaking-ai-detector-tool
in the beginning it was pretty easy because pictures would have obvious artifacts. these artifacts could include perfectly rendered extra fingers, broken elbows, or otherwise disjointed body parts. AI image generation would confidently render something incorrect with huge attention to detail.
nowadays, especially with Dalle, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish them. certain AI will still have certain artifacts if you look close enough, but you will need to have a huge attention to detail. different image generators also have different styles, so if an image lines up with a particular image generator style there is a good chance that it was AI generated.
Look for the light source as well. AI art tends to cast shadows in multiple places that make no sense, or have highlights in areas that make no sense.
For example, see this thread.

In the Supergirl on the right, the sun is behind her, but her knees and right boob in the costume shine brightly on the front, like the sun is in two places as once.
This was all over the Apollo photos but those are REAL right?
Does anyone except redditors really honestly think the moon landing was real? It’s the one conspiracy that even mainstream normies with multiple Covid vaccines can still buy into.
I'm no expert on the supposed moon landing hoax, and I expect a lot of replies that I won't bother with. However, the sun and lights from a camera make overlapping shadows. Stand in a shopping mall under a skylight, and you're going to have two shadows, a dark one from the sun, and a grayish one from the florescent lights. I find it difficult to believe that if it was a hoax, they wouldn't have taken that into account.
In the AI art in question at the link, Supergirl is flying through the air. It's supposed to be an action shot where there would be no cameraman flying in front of her with a flash.
I thought the weird fingers and extra limbs made AI art cool.
No real artists would try to slip in a 3rd arm.
Surrealists would like a word.
The regulators will eventually force the commercial generators to include digital watermarks.
Dall-e does it already by choice
Meta is working deeper marks
Google is also trying to deep embed
I expect these marks will also be tied to the account of the person generating them.
I already don't make memes in Midjourney because of the threat of doxxing myself. Remember those fake Trump arrest images? MJ banned the guy who generated them.
AI will get neutered because of DMCA (digital milennium copyright act) takedowns abusively filed by corporations. Getty images is already trying to take down an ai image creator.
Getty is a competitor in that space with a model only trained on their licensed photos.
Of course. Getty will use AI to fire their contributors the same way less wealthy media outlets use ai to fire their contributors.
You know what they always have "some" anatomical flaws no matter how little they are. Blurry hands is an example.
Dalle looks like a cartoon so it has less flaws but is less convincing.
Oy vey.
I think the meek inherit the earth
Edit: defining meek: https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h6035/kjv/wlc/0-1/
I have come to the conclusion that the "meek" also has an overlap with those who didn't take the vax, but I'm no theologian.
Hmm almost as if they know to trust the Lord above anything else.. interesting
I don't know what this means in this context. Humble doesn't mean zombie. I added a link for definition.
