Real or AI?

How to play Real or AI?

Real or AI? is a short visual quiz: you look at a picture and decide whether it is a hand-drawn illustration or generative art produced by code on this site. After you choose Human-made or Algorithm, you see the credit for that image and move on to the next one. A correct streak is saved as your high score. No outside image API is used, and nothing you click is sent to a generative model.

The point is to practice looking closely. Algorithmic images on this page often have a smoothness, a repeated motif, or a kind of symmetry that a rushed human sketch does not. Hand-drawn work may show uneven line weight, a slightly awkward perspective, or a tool mark that a generator tends to polish away. The tells change from image to image, which is why a careful look beats a snap judgment.

Play it in any modern browser. There is no download, no sign-in, and no time pressure on an individual guess.

Tips

• Look at edges and textures first; uniform smoothness is a common sign of generated art on this quiz.
• Check for repeated patterns that are a little too regular, especially in backgrounds.
• Do not spend too long on the first impression — note it, then scan for one piece of contradicting evidence before you lock in.

Controls: mouse, touch. No download and no sign-in required.

FAQ

Are the images coming from Midjourney or another API?

No. The quiz uses a bank of pictures prepared for this site. Some are hand-drawn illustrations; others are generative art produced by code here. There are no live calls to an outside image service.

How does scoring work?
