Reacting to YOUR INSANE AI Generated 'Photos'

People & Blogs

Introduction

It's been just under a week since I asked you to submit your photos edited with generative fill. I received numerous submissions on Vero with the hashtag PeterMcKinnonChallenge, and now it's time to react to them. I've tried to guess which parts of your photos were real and which were edited, and I must say, some of your work was incredibly deceptive!

Photo Reactions

Desert Portrait

  • Guess: The house is fake, maybe the fence and the hydrophone are fake.
  • Result: Only the water was fake. I’m zero for one!

Mountain and City Photo

  • Guess: The entire city, including the water, is not real.

Conclusion

Being tricked by the generative fill feature was both fun and challenging. The blend of reality and AI was seamless in many cases, which made guessing very difficult.
