Illuminarty was recommended to me by my brother to check if text or images are AI generated. It seems to work pretty well. Have you used it? What do you think about it? Is it accurate? This might be useful if you have a cover for your book that you want to check, or if you're doing a graphic novel. Or perhaps if you just have a piece of text you want to check. Link: https://app.illuminarty.ai/ Will these AI checking tools be life savers in the future/now? Thoughts? Hope I placed the thread in the right subforum.
Haven't tried it for artwork, but I have used copyleaks for text. I don't think it can be any more accurate than humans - yet - but as the generative transformers and art-creators improve, we'd better hope that detection does too! Copyleaks proclaimed something which I had generated on ChatGPT to be human text with 98.8% certainty... There was an interesting story on the BBC recently about generated images being used for fake-fundraising https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64599553. Apparently fingers are one of the big "tells" - the software knows that "fingers go here" but can get carried away with the number!
I have read (not tested) that one thing to do is to take a text and ask the bot you suspected of generating it if it wrote it. It won't know, but apparently they're pretty good at identifying their own work. And yeah, "count the fingers" is the new mantra. Since I write weird horror though, that could turn out to be a feature, not a bug. Anybody ever read King's Tales From a Buick 8? (Edit: @Earp corrected me on the title)
Yes, it's one of my favorite King works (I think it's just From a Buick 8), but I'm missing the reference.
You're right on the title, sorry, but the reference is that the Buick 8 has... from memory 4 exhaust ports on the left and three on the right, round headlight on one side... something something, was built by creatures who had seen a lot of pictures of cars but didn't really know what they were copying. This happens with fingers in AI artwork. This is from a longer piece about the issues of AI art, but look at the fingers:
Ah, I see. Seems weird that a super-intelligent AI system that knows everything wouldn't know that humans have five fingers (or is that not an image not of humans to the AI?).
I saw an AI generated image the other day of someone with three legs. That's way worse than extra fingers, because legs are so much bigger and constitute almost half the mass of the body. It looked like the AI had tried two different positions for one of the legs and then just didn't 'erase' one of them. Maybe they need a system that makes them count body parts before releasing an image? Since it's a pretty egregious problem.
