MODERATORS
Can any gen-z chime in and confirm this?
Wait you can't tell?
I can tell and I'm way older. If I had to guess I would say most with a science background or training involving critical thinking could tell easily, because from what I've seen the most susceptible groups judge an image with how much it aligns with their worldview and not objective reality or apparent image artifacts.
If people want to believe it is real they will, and if they don't then they will not regardless of of it is real. Gen-Z are probably just more critical of sales media from being forced to view it.
This probably makes more sense… people turning a blind eye to things they don’t like or believe in.
An interesting emergent behavior is people being wary of AI and questioning media openly is often viewed as an insult or undue criticism, as it is associated with dislike of the content itself even when that may not be the case at all.
There have been a couple of times I was confused by the number of JPEG artifacts and questioned about the legitimacy of a piece only to be berated for it.
