AI-generated or Real?
In this "Detect Fakes" experiment, brought to you by Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, you will be presented with a series of images. These images may either be real photographs or AI-generated images. Our aim is to understand how well people can distinguish between real and AI-created images. We ask you to examine each image carefully and share whether you believe it is AI-generated or real, and how confident you are in this judgment. If you think the image is AI-generated, you have the option of explaining why.
