Original survey link: https://forms.gle/7Bu3Tyi5fufmY8Vc8

Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!

Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.

People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.

Edit 2: The data has slightly changed! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they've gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

I guess I should feel good with my 12/20 since it's better than average.

Thank you so much for sharing the results. Very interesting to see the outcome after participating in the survey.

Out of interest: do you know how many participants came from Lemmy compared to other platforms?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

No idea, but I would assume most results are from here since Lemmy is where I got the most attention and feedback.

What I learnt is that I’m bad at that task.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did 12 and I thought it was a pretty bad result. Apparently I was wrong!

I tried to answer by instinct, without careful examination, to make it more realistic

15 here and when I reviewed the answers I realized most were sheer luck.

The fact that it's a clean gaussian shows that it's mostly luck anyway.

It'd be interesting to also see the two non-AI images the most people thought were.

I got 11/20 and there were a couple of guesses in there that I got right and wrong. Funny how there are some man-made ones that seem like AI. I think it's the blurry/fuzziness maybe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. So you've given us a 50/ 50 chance. Usually you've given us the art that was used and then the AI has attempted it's own version? Did you train the ai using the art ?

Are you allowed to do that ? Is the art in the public sphere?

I have no knowledge or understanding of ai.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

No, the AI didn't try to copy the other art that was included. I also don't train the model myself, I just tell it to create an image similar to another one. For example the fourth picture I told it to create a rough sketch of a person sitting on a bench using an ink pen, then I went online and looked for a human-made one that's of a similar style.

You put 'tell' twice in the title 😅

I would second the comment from the original post which said that they didn't pay much attention in the latter half.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oof. I got about 65% on the images I hadn’t seen in the post. I must be pretty close to being replaceable by an adversarial network.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Is there any chance that the human artists experimented with AI and posted the result along with their usual work? :)
