📖 Read the story
Now we have smart computer programs called AI. You can ask an AI to draw anything. For example, you can ask for a tiger in the grass. In a few seconds, the computer makes a beautiful picture. These pictures look very real, but they are fake. This is a problem because some people believe fake news. Scientists want to know if we can see the difference. In a new project, some students tested their friends. They showed them real photos and AI photos. Many people could not find the fake ones because they look perfect! To find a fake photo, you must look closely. Sometimes the computer makes small mistakes. For example, the eyes of an animal might look strange. Or the grass might look a bit weird. It is a fun and useful game to try with your family.
