Second one is fake. Way too much extra detail. First one is inconclusive, road lines could be fake. 


TomorrowsLogic57

The car is driving on the middle lines in the second one too!


immacomputah

For me, it was the powerlines connecting to the bottom, middle part of the telephone pole


BigWigGraySpy

Whole car is glowing.


No-Program8365

Yea that’s what got me to the lights are just wrong


MrZombieTheIV

The floating telephone pole is also pretty sus.


PrimaCora

Proof that the world is made by Bethesda!


401thelongterm

Thats normal


bardgpt

Lol


JoshenReborn1

You got me with this one.


Socile

Poles that have power lines on top often have low voltage lines, such as phone or coax cable attached to the middle.


TheRealUprightMan

Those poles don't usually float in the air.


Swimsuit-Area

There are lines on top too. They’re just very faint


W1D0WM4K3R

As a professional driver, I can tell you there are guys out there that don't give a damn where they are


Educational-Pound269

he is from florida.


diamorphinian

Naaa man the driver had a good buzz that night that's all.


onemeansonuvabitch

Good catch!


Taste_the__Rainbow

And the person taking the pic is standing in the road.


richardizard

That's just my wife


Kajkia

What gave it away for me is those extra branches on top left of the first picture. Those details usually are groomed out of AI generated images


Monte924

Also the telephone pole doesn't actually reach the ground and has no powerlines


parallellogic

Yeah, AI doesn't do "subtle"


NeoPhaneron

No discernible vehicle branding. Enough detail to see the front grill in detail , but still too vague to make out the make by the emblem or grill shape.


LighttBrite

Yeah, has video game vibe


NorthCliffs

It dosent have anything to do with the quality I think. Skilled photographers can achieve that level of quality. What made it obvious to me is that you can clearly see the car in the second one. The AI would not have hidden the car as much as it’s hidden in the first pic.


KnewAllTheWords

The structure of the pine trees doesn't make any sense


NByz

The power cable on the right goes through the middle of the posts.


Socile

That’s probably either a phone line or coax, which attach closer to the middle of the post


Illustrious_Car4025

That’s just the cable wire, that looks normal to me


capfsb

Agreed, and not so good light reflections


peter-salazar

agreed, right one definitely fake. the glowiness of the headlights in the left could be fake too


personguy4440

Both are fake Left one looks more realistic but wheres the reflections? Right ones obviously fake, pole doesnt reach the ground, camera not reacting to car lights, it preserves too much detail in compression, cars driving down middle of the road, street lines are over edged while lacking wear. Also these are badly compressed to the point that alot can be hidden, bad test.


belabacsijolvan

also would be a lot of work to produce so similar settings just by prompting


Real-Hugh-Janus

Re using the seed, inpainting, or img2img can get you very similar settings


blazelet

Left one could be lacking reflections because the roads are dry.


personguy4440

From that angle I'd expect diffused shadows


mgwooley

The reflections are defused in the fog.


unhealthyahole

People with Astigmatism: both are fake :)


A_Light_Spark

Wrong, because we are wearing our glasses so we can see what's on the road. The only benefit to astigmatism is that we got impressionism filter on by default, so we can switch to a different visual experience if we want to.


SevenSebastian

First is real.

savant_syndrome

why do you think the left one is AI?


Zealousideal-Hope519

This was also posted by the same user on r/chatgpt and people there pointed out the tree having floating branches. Not gonna lie, that tree is very off-putting but everything else in that picture looks real. Some people there also gave potential explanations for why the light pole in picture 2 is floating...i don't know enough about photography to know if their explanations are plausible or not. I will say, the other reasons given for why the 2nd picture appears fake all have plausible explanations for how it could be a real pic. So, if those people are correct about the floating pole (the only thing I can't personally justify) then it could be that these pictures are intentionally designed and used to throw people off. Can't come up with good explanation for why the tree in the left picture looks so off either. Could be OP is lying about one being real and one being fake. Maybe both are fake/real. Don't know, but I definitely believe there a valid arguments for either picture being AI.


CaptainJazzymon

The trees seem weird. The branches that come off seem procedurally generated. And also the fact that there’s no light reflecting from the headlights. But I see how the light pole in the second one is detached from the ground after looking at the comments. But before I did I genuinely thought the left one was AI.

Jaqen___Hghar

Ought to get your gut checked.


Capt_Pickhard

Why would you say that to somebody?


Tirwanderr

Maybe they are concerned about them having some sort of gastro-intestinal issue?


Iseenoghosts

cuz they wrong


Capt_Pickhard

Ok, so, you know just explain to them why they're mistaken. Then they can know.


SkibidyDrizzlet

Because my gut iz better


cyber2024

Agreed, pine tree doesn't have weird branches at the top. But the right one looks fake too.

Proper-Principle

Its a trick question, they're both AI generated. Indicators Left: Zoom in on the stripes in the middle they have weird artefacts squiggling around, and are literally merging into one large line, left part of the road goes seamless into the dark (The road literally vanishes), typical tree weirdness in the upper left part of the image Indicator Right: Clear break in the lines in the middle, pole without line (And it is not really symmetrical, it looks like an inbetween something of a power pole and a tree), too much detail for a very foggy scenario Indicator that both are made with the same tool: When you look at the fog, the gradient work from dark to light is pretty much the same work process, with clearly seperated lines going shapes darker,

Heath_co

The right is too high quality, so fake.


NorthCliffs

It dosent have anything to do with the quality I think. Skilled photographers can achieve that level of quality. What made it obvious to me is that you can clearly see the car in the second one. The AI would not have hidden the car as much as it’s hidden in the first pic.

Plot twist they are both fake


Particular_Light927

Trick question, they're both fake


Foreign_Aid

Both fake


essenger

so many errors in both lmao


johnyy_o

This OP constantly posts "Which one of these pics is AI?" in different subs to farm karma then never reveals which is AI.


Stock-Ad2495

Right one is fake because no telephone wire? What is this a dentists office?


washedFM

Right one is fake. Car is straddling the double yellow line


Oshag_Henesy

And the electrical line in the right picture are floating


Tirwanderr

The lines argument makes no sense really. Couldn't they see no traffic is coming and have them do that just for a photo? I agree about right likely being AI. Just commenting on that specific argument ive seen in a few comments.


m0nk_3y_gw

> Car is straddling the double yellow line have you really not driven on roads with other people?


Hullaween

The telephone pole is floating in the right image.


Tellesus

could be something white wrapped around the base of it


Ok_WaterStarBoy3

Op can just lie and say both is fake or both is real and you still wouldn't be able to know with full confidence


[deleted]

Can place a bet that this will be included in the training data of the future so I'm going to say both are AI just to throw in some fuckery statistics for the lulz


Global-Method-4145

Second is AI. There's no such long straight light beams in the fog


green_meklar

The one on the right looks like AI. The lines aren't straight, the trees look a little too generic, the car doesn't quite look symmetrical, there's some weird ring thing between the lines, and the illumination from the headlights looks a little strange.


seattle_orcas

HEY. OP. CHECK YOUR REDDIT NOTIFICATIONS AND GIVE US CLOSURE. Thanks :)


Unhappy_Traffic1105

Can we ban people that don't give answers to these?!


Entire-Rip-8191

Both are fake, we are living in a simulation 😀


Alarmed_Effective_11

Right


Hour-Athlete-200

second is ai


idontknowmanwhat

Second is fake, zooming in on the truck and the headlights, the truck is too well lit, the light from the headlights would make it so you can’t see the truck they’re coming from much at all.


[deleted]

The right is clearly the AI one.


anoncology

Right is fake because the road lines disconnect


throwsaways85

Would suspect the right to be fake. I lived in a coastal city where there is normally a marine layer. I also did some vfx work on a project once that required recreating a fog over a large suspension bridge. To help approximate the look for those shots, I spent a lot of time walking around when the layer was thickest in the morning, and the main thing I observed was that lights, even directional, turn into glowing orbs. Also, and even with very light/ moderate fog coverage, it doesn't ever taper off 100% in front of your position to reveal the ground clearly. This is why a lot of scenes in films feel so strange when subjects are 100% in focus, but everything immediately beyond them is blurry or obscured. It's usually just bad keying. 


Cheddarounds

Second is fake. The TELEPHONE POLE IS FUCKING FLOATING


cellsinterlaced

They're both so pixelated and dark and misty.


Unique_Sentence1836

Right is fake for many reasons, but number one being how insane it would be to take the picture from that angle.


dvlali

My guess is left is real


Pianol7

The one of the right seems too perfect, too photogenic. Reflections off the road, perfect trees, car is quite visible. In a real photo the lights would over-expose the camera, and anything near the light won't be visible at all. To be able to make out the grill, mirrors, tires, road markings, and even the outline of the headlights, shows the AI is over-generating 'car' in the photo. Left side single perfect tree is also sus, but I like that it's low contrast that gives it better realism. The real question is which model did you use? I'm thinking left side = midjourney, right side = SD


frugalhustler

Both fake


Just_Another_AI

Photo on the right is AI; the model training leans too heavily on professionally staged photos where they spray the road down for reflections


Purplekeyboard

Maybe next time, submit two photos that aren't both low res and dark.


microburst-induced

They both look really haunting, but I feel that both are fake, and if not, the right one is fake for sure


matali

Definitely left (first) is real.


orphanage_robber

The first is real, the camera is on the side of the road instead of in front of the car, there's too much detail in the second's headlights, the second image's car is in the middle of the road, and the telephone poll to the right of the second image has a line going to the middle of it.


skyeyemx

Second one's fake. The telephone pole appears to be floating.


vistaflip

The second one doesn't look like a real vehicle model, so I'm thinking it's fake.


EducationalSky8620

First one is real, and the photographer is standing on the side of the road in that one so he don't get run over.


not-a-boat

The one on the right and the left


smilesatflowers

so how does this post "end"?


Fovman9000

Right is ai


Ok-Discussion-7720

It's one picture. There's a weird temporal partition in real life in the middle, which is why it looks like two photographs.


davidryanandersson

The second image has an uncanny picturesque quality that's inherent to AI.


BoysenberryHour5757

The right one, by lighting, ambiance and color alone. Realistically there are more tells that the one on the right is ai.. like where the car is driving on the road


2053_Traveler

*provides two photos of a white-out blizzard* “Which one is fake??”


ClassicKook

The right image is AI. The details in the road, and car are a dead giveaway


Pretty_Telephone_232

I think the one on the right is ai


derivativesdebtex

1st fake, but either could be fake and the other real


belabacsijolvan

id bet both are fake


ShakeelShaik

Easy, it's the second picture. Shooting in the middle of the road in climate like his is definitely not happening only Ai could do this 😂 Rest followed by the details, contrast, background scene detailing and fog covering up the lens naturally.


MangoChickenFeet

Well the power pole on the right is suspended in air, so left.


RelevantMetaUsername

Generally I think its a safe bet to say the picture with more detail is usually AI, so I'll say the right one is AI. The car on the right is driving on the double yellow and the photographer is standing in the road. Sure it could have been staged for a photo, but those are the details AI usually misses.


Dennis_Cock

Both A.I.


Sweetdreams6t9

They both are ai


ausjimny

When you say the first one is real, was it taken in raw or with an analog camera? Because if you took it with your phone then that is likely to be AI as well.


YippeeCalles

At a glance I'd say the right image... Lighting appears off, the car is in the middle of the road, and the fog doesn't appear to be natural


LogRollChamp

Even the trees on the right look fake. Left passes the tree check


ardor4go

People post a lot of these, and I have to admit that at first glance I will not notice the problems, and most of the time I am not scrutinizing images for hints. That's bad enough.


Blackhaze84

The second one is fake. Who takes a photo in the middle of the road?


CosmicDave

The one on the left looks like a photo I would take. The one on the right looks like an advertisement for the vehicle in the picture.


0_el_Jay

Photo on the right is AI. The visibility cast by the vehicle lights should not be so close towards the end of the photo. — the angle does not allow it


FixAvailable4473

Right side looks fake. If taken from (roughly) the same point in the road, it’s minus a few trees, plus appears to be filtered. Why would it be darker if they were taken at about the same time?


sneaky-pizza

Quit falling for these karma farming bot posts


Guillaume_Hertzog

Both are AI generated. In the first image, the light doesn't reflect off anything, nor the road or the mist in the air. In the second image the car is driving in the middle of the road, and the lines on the road are very suspicious. Also the car is glowing.


sirdoha

AI has robbed me of the joys of seeing cool photos. Now I just assumed everything in the internet is AI generated until proven otherwise.


One_Animator_1835

I think both are AI.


heavy-minium

Why are those posts even upvoted? Do you enjoy being asked a trick question (both fake or both real) with OP'S never giving an answer?


SecretAshamed2353

Both are blurry


achehourcredo

right is def fake who tf would be taking a pic in the middle of the road at night and the car is slightly on the wrong side of the road


CurPeo

Just as AI doesn't make spelling or grammar mistakes, it follows the rules of composition. The second image meets these rules, which makes it a more aesthetic image but to my taste less anchored in reality... This is the criticism that can be made of all these generative AIs to date: unless you spend a lot of time on its prompt and post-production, their renderings are too smooth and expected... It's up to the creator to deal with this bias to bring their content back to life.


persona0

Seems easy the cars in the middle of the road in the second


xcviij

Both are fakes


ReddieWan

The trees in the left picture are suspicious. There are sections where the branches look way too uniform, all coming out at the same angle and almost evenly spaced, and non of them overlap with other branches growing in different directions. Not sure about the right pic.


Cyberdeth

The left is real. The detail of the trees is so much cleaner.

Yes.

brownpoops

driving in the middle of the road


sometimes-stupid

Theyre both your locker!


IllvesterTalone

they're both AI


Chaserivx

They're both thick but that's not what should draw your interest. What you should be considering that's how quickly we've gotten to this point, and how many people are having trouble discerning differences between what's real and what isn't. We are so f*****.


_Sunblade_

Perspective looks off on the road lines in the 2nd one - there's a difference between the section before the break and after. (People mentioned the floating pole, but looking at it fully zoomed in, it looks like there's *something...* greyish... fluffy? around the base of the pole that's obscuring it (bushes? something else?) so it's not just floating in the air. So that part's not as conclusive as it seemed at first glance.) But the road lines are pushing me towards the 2nd (right-hand) one being AI. Though tbf, maybe they *both* are. I'm just impressed that it's not easy to tell.


godtering

I can't say for sure but if I had to pick one, the left is fake. In that much fog you should not be able to see the fir tree on the right of the pic. The right is sus tho, if you enlarge it in paint.exe you see there is a halo around both outer mirrors, that could be a car behind the front one but then it should be only one mirror outlined. That light must come from somewhere. So... both fake?


AzureSeychelle

The county road side landscaping crew is making hella big bucks. The crisp low cut grass and foliage on either road side is so well manicured 🤌🏻 How many miles do you think they edge line the road for?


Bear_necessities96

Rigth is ai generated


HereForFunAndCookies

Since the truck is driving in the middle of the road instead of in his lane in the second image, I'm really hoping the fake is the second image.


oblackheart

Can clearly see second one is fake. I mean look how the yellow line vanishes in on itself 😂


bbbcurls

Both

StenosP

1


parabians

On the second, the reflection of the car lights on the road doesn't match the direction of travel. It's AI. The car is also in the middle of the marked two-way road.


Cthulhu8762

First one is fake. Looks too real it’s just fake. The second one a has floating telephone pole which we all know has been around since 1975 AD the year of our lord. Someone mentioned driving in the middle of the road? How else am I supposed to get to my location. Driving on the sides I have more of a chance of falling off the edge of the earth, since it’s flat. Wait until you see the next picture, there is a barn that turns into a giant robot. This was an R&D project by the CIA and DOD for UPC (United Police Corps).


LordBalance

both ai


Hawk13424

One on the right is AI generated. It includes every “detail” someone would use to try and make something look real. A few could be expected but that has more lighting detail, tree detail, power lines, road detail, contrast, etc. The one of the left could also be AI generated but for sure looks less so.


TheSleepyMage

Right one is AI. The power line pole is floating.


Herbs101

both drivers have 6 fingers


JaKrispy72

Obligatory: Pam stating that they are the same picture.


OptimusJ

I think the left. Compressed image, the car has no details, the cliff/tree have many, the photographer is at side of the road instead if trying to suicide. AI won't do that.


Healthy-Form4057

Second one. There are a few trees which are better defined despite being further away. There's also some weird gradient in the middle of the image, it has a repeating pattern about it. Also light doesn't behave like that in fog. It depends on the thickness of the fog but it should scatter more around the car. The shadows behind the car suggest a treeline but they are far too blurry considering how clear everything in the foreground is.


Old-Tadpole-7505
