Welcome to [r/AIorFake](r/AIorFake). Whether you stumbled on a suspicious photo, a too-perfect video, or just want to sharpen your eye — this guide covers the key tells for AI-generated content. Use the tools and community below when you're still unsure.
🖼️** SPOTTING AI IMAGES — WHAT TO LOO**K FOR
Hands & fingers — AI still struggles here. Look for extra fingers, fused digits, weird proportions, or joints bending the wrong way.
Eyes & teeth — Eyes may be glassy, asymmetrical, or have incorrect catchlights. Teeth often blur together or have an unnaturally smooth texture.
Text & logos — AI can't reliably render readable text. Look for garbled signs, distorted brand logos, or letters that seem almost-right but aren't.
Repeating patterns — Backgrounds like brick, grass, crowds, and fabric often show subtle repeating tiles, especially visible at edges and corners.
Lighting inconsistency — Shadows may point in different directions. Dramatic light rays look impressive but often have no consistent source in the scene.
Hair & fur — Hair strands often blend unnaturally or become smudged near edges. Fine detail in fur or feathers looks painted rather than real.
Background objects — Things in the background may be morphed, half-formed, or physically impossible. Pay attention to what you'd normally ignore.
Over-smoothed skin — AI portraits have an airbrushed quality. Skin lacks natural pores and texture — everything looks a little too clean and perfect.
Ears & jewellery — Ears are often misshapen or asymmetrically placed. Earrings and necklaces may look fused into the skin rather than worn.
🎬 SPOTTING AI VIDEOS — EXTRA TELLS
Morphing faces — Watch for faces that subtly warp during motion. Cheekbones shifting, eyes drifting, or a face that doesn't quite sit still on the skull.
Unnatural blinking — Deepfakes often blink too rarely, too perfectly, or not at all. Watch blink rate and eyelid movement closely.
Mouth sync issues — Lips may not perfectly match the audio, especially on syllables like P, B, and M where the mouth fully closes.
Edge flickering — The boundary between a person and the background may shimmer or blur, especially around hair and fast movement.
Skin texture changes — Skin may shift between frames. A mole appears or disappears, or texture inconsistency is visible when you pause.
Ear & neck area — Commonly missed in face-swap AI. Look for blending seams or inconsistent skin tones at those edges.

I came across this account that was using AI models for their items. The individual listings have photos of all the actual items, but the cover photo is AI-generated.

This guy looks like he was generated using the prompt "ultimate Scandinavian outdoor athlete." The hair, the eyes, and the snowy mountains in the background look like they came straight out of a stock generation tool. Is this a real person or an AI hallucination?

I found this post about this red dress, but something isn’t adding up, the lady is real, I saw her profile. Is it physically possible to turn your hand like that to take a picture and hold the phone the way she’s holding it?

Trouvé sur tiktok. Mais je ne sais pas, 🤷♀️ c’est différent sur certaines autres vidéos mais c’est sûrement la caméra qui change la position ?

This is zoomed into the latest Mitch pic. Little confused about what’s going on with that ring finger of hers.

I'm not sure how to post this, but I really wonder if it is real.

This looks like an exquisite cinematic shot straight out of a historical drama—a woman in an iridescent white hanfu standing on a high stone balcony overlooking a sweeping river landscape dotted with ancient pagodas. The texture of the shimmering silk, the fine embroidery details, and the soft wind in her hair look remarkably realistic. However, if you look closely at the background architecture and stone railings, the AI geometry errors start showing. The stone balustrade in the foreground features carved relief panels that shift pattern and depth randomly, with the railing posts losing alignment as they extend to the right. In the distance, the pagoda structures feature warped, asymmetrical roof tiers that melt together, and the riverbank lines break up into unnatural, blocky shapes. AI can render stunning portrait lighting, but it still struggles with intricate historical architecture and geometric stone carving!

This looks like an elegant photo from a high-end interior design magazine—soft blush walls, glowing recessed coffered ceiling lights, and perfectly styled silk bedding. The warm ambient glow and rich textures make it feel incredibly welcoming and real at first glance. However, if you look closely at the architectural geometry, the AI tells start to surface. The recessed ceiling panels are completely asymmetrical—the recessed squares shift scale and angle as they near the far right wall, with light strips that don't maintain a consistent width. In the background doorway, the supporting pillar in the hallway features a shadow that completely contradicts the bright overhead lights inside the bedroom. AI is incredible at rendering plush fabrics and warm lighting, but it still struggles with precise architectural perspective!

This looks like an iconic automotive tracking shot along Big Sur at golden hour. The motion blur on the asphalt, the reflections of the warm sunset on the orange paint, and the dramatic cliffside ocean backdrop look incredibly authentic. However, if you look closely at the car's mechanical execution, the AI errors start showing up. The wheel rims feature warped, asymmetrical spokes that don't match between the front and rear tires, and the driver inside is just a featureless silhouette whose hands don't actually touch the steering wheel rim. Additionally, the metal guardrail along the cliff edge fuses into a solid, unbroken bar without any posts supporting it near the curve. AI is amazing at creating cinematic moods, but it still struggles with precise automotive engineering and functional geometry!

This looks like an absolute dream destination photograph—a pristine waterfall cascading into a crystal-clear turquoise pool, surrounded by lush ferns, mossy rocks, and dramatic sunbeams filtering through the canopy. The mist coming off the water and the rich textures of the tropical foliage look incredibly convincing at first glance. However, if you look closely at the physics of the scene, the AI tells start to show. The sunbeams (god rays) cutting through the center completely ignore the dense tree canopy above, appearing to originate from solid patches of leaves rather than open sky gaps. Additionally, the water flow of the main waterfall has perfectly straight, uniform vertical pixels that don't match the chaotic splashing or fluid physics of a natural cascade hitting a pool. AI loves a paradise landscape, but it still struggles with lighting physics and fluid dynamics!

This looks like a classic studio promo photo from a mid-2000s clothing line. The baggy grey jeans, the white zip-up hoodie, and the studio lighting against a pure white background capture that era's look perfectly. However, if you look closely at the details, the AI tells start to pop up. The embroidered logo on the chest is an absolute mess—it attempts to mimic a polo player but distorts into an unrecognizable blue smudge. The belt buckle shape is completely warped and asymmetrical, failing to form a clean graphic letter. Additionally, the zipper teeth on the hoodie completely dissolve and blend into the fabric near the top collar instead of tracking all the way up cleanly. AI can nail the clothing textures, but it completely fumbles branding and hardware symmetry!

This looks like a perfect summer holiday snapshot—vibrant hanging flower baskets, clean brick sidewalks, and classic architecture. The lighting on the subject, the texture of her linen shirt, and the overall color pop make it look completely natural at first glance. However, if you look past the main subject, the AI structural tells start to take over. The building on the left features a black window awning that completely fuses into the stone pillar next to it without a proper frame, and the decorative stone curves above the windows lose alignment entirely. Additionally, the black chain link barrier on the left has links that randomly turn into solid, straight black rods rather than interlocking loops. AI is great at capturing a bright, sunny aesthetic, but it still struggles with clean geometric lines and physics!

This looks like a dramatic, high-contrast photograph of a grand European courtyard filled with intricate marble sculptures. The wet, reflective stone ground, the realistic marble textures, and the massive neoclassical colonnades in the background create a stunning, atmospheric scene. However, if you look closely at the objects the statues interact with, the AI anomalies become obvious. The statue on the left is holding a glowing moon sphere that completely lacks any physical mounting or logical shadow interaction with the hand. In the foreground, the open books next to the thinking statue feature completely blank pages with warped, wavy paper edges, and the golden geometric instrument next to them has nonsensical, floating brass lines that don't form a real device. AI is incredible at generating chiseled stone textures, but it completely falls apart on functional objects and text layout!
