Real painting or Computer Generated (AI) Quiz

[uk1000]

This is a quiz where the aim is to try and guess which of the images are from a famous artist (just 1 particular artist) from the 1800s and which is computer generated (eg. AI).

Are the paintings below real or AI?

I might have changed the brightness/contrast on a couple of images to make it a bit less obvious. It might be obvious which are real but it's just a fun quiz.

You can click on an image to view it more clearly.

There's 2 images from the original artist from the 1800s and the rest are computer generated.

I'll give it a look. Specially hard since this Van Gogh style is very common and I think it's been really "perfected" by AIs.

I'll guess 6 and 10?

Definitely the one with the jumping blob whales. (Not really!)

It is rather amazing what AI systems can do these days.

This is a fun survey @uk1000! How long did it take to make all the AI-generated images? I wonder what Van Gogh would think if he saw these images!!!

I like the ones with the elephants ...or the free-floating flowers around the vase.

That makes me feel better. I only picked two - I voted before others started posted on the thread. However, I couldn't picked wrong two!

I had to vote quick because the longer I looked at the images, the harder it got.

I agree!

It depends on the number of steps and the resolution and whether they're upscaled. I set it to upscale each but I didn't use the upscale because it seemed to remove some of the paint strokes.

All the images had 150 steps I think. It might be more accurate the more steps there are but there probably isn't much difference after 150 steps.

With no upscale, 150 steps, resolution 1024x512 it takes me 48 seconds per image
With 50 steps and 1024x512 it takes me 16 secs per image.

For the 896x512 images with 150 steps without upscale it takes me 38 or 39 seconds per image.

I voted 9 and 10.

The answers to the quiz were:

Image 6

 

 

 

 

and Image 9

 

 

 

 

 

Those were the 2nd and 3rd most voted for. The artist was Vincent van Gogh.

All the other images were computer generated (AI).

Image 10 (the most voted for) was fake (AI):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The real flower image that the artist did is this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was thinking of putting that image as one of the options in the quiz but it had the artist's name on the vase so that would have given it away.

I think most people picked at least one of the real images so congrats to those who picked and to those who picked both of the real ones 😃

That was a tricky one, @uk1000! I fell for it!

I don't know about that ...with all the options that you had, my mind started to play tricks on me. 😂

Thanks, @uk1000! This was a refreshing break from typical forum posts. 😊

I was sure I've seen that vase somewhere! I was not too far away and I have to say that like more the AI version with the blues.

Seeing it now, I think that sort of lineart gave it away.

Incredible game @uk1000, thanks!

Hi there.
I'm bagas brojo, a manual illustrator.

since 2018 I use fiverr to sell my services, especially in the field of dark art and horror illustration, since the beginning of 2023 I have not gotten any orders, only in March I got an order and even then only 1, as a manual artist I feel defeated. 

Now that I'm at level 2, do you think I have a lot of orders? Of course not, and since 2018 I haven't even reached 200 stars.  

Along with the times comes AI that can create images just by writing, I know this is the development of the times, but will the manual illustrator profession become extinct? I think yes, and soon, 

Many buyers now prefer AI drawings, I don't know the benefits that buyers get, maybe because it's easy and simple, but I don't know about the copyright.

Finally, after years of learning to draw for sale, I was finally defeated by technology, and thank you for reading this article,

That's sad to hear. AI is already affecting many of us. I know some people in the writing category have said their orders are down this year, probably because of it.

I  think there are still some interesting legal battles to be had regarding copyright issues. Perhaps one or two of those will eventually help creatives.

It's sad, but it's true. Buyers often don't care about copyright because they go for a cheap service. And what could be cheaper than an enquiry into AI? So yeah. Illustrators are going to lose a lot financially in the coming years. And we're already feeling it. So the profession is more likely to remain at the level of a hobby, because it's getting harder and harder to find real orders not for pennies.  
And also now there are too many non-professionals who don't know how to draw, but using AI think that they are great creators of pictures. After all, you don't have to study and train for years.
