Two choices. Keep moving.

Choose AI-generated for a generated image or Real photo for a photograph. Answering immediately brings up the next image. A feedback bar shows whether your previous answer was correct or wrong, along with the right answer. After 10 seconds, an unanswered image is skipped. The round ends after 30 seconds.

Use 1 for AI-generated and 2 for Real photo. Enlarge an image for a closer look—the clock keeps running. The timer also continues if you leave the tab.

Images you see during play are remembered in this browser. Prefetched images do not count as seen. There are no repeats until you've seen the collection or cleared your browser history for this site. Your guesses are not sent to a server.

About the collection

1,000 generated images and 1,000 attributed photographs, including famous landmarks. The real photos have source files uploaded before 2020; conventional editing may be present. No generative edits were applied to them for this game.

Images keep their full framing and are resized and compressed consistently for fast delivery. Subject and image-shape distributions aren't perfectly matched. Difficulty hasn't been measured with players, and this game is not an AI-detection test.

Photo credits & licenses — contains spoilers

Each photograph retains its individual license. Display copies use proportional resizing and compression. The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense visual information does not imply or constitute endorsement.
