Study Explores If Humans Can Spot AI Deepfakes
coinfanking · reddit · 2026-07-11
This report covers a study on whether people can identify AI-generated deepfake images, conducted by University of Aberdeen psychologist Clare Sutherland and her Australian colleagues.
The article features a mini-test: readers are shown two photos—one real and one an AI deepfake—to see if they can tell the difference.
The core question is whether ordinary people can still reliably distinguish fakes from reality as AI imagery becomes increasingly photorealistic, and whether this detection skill can be improved through training.
