How can I tell if a photo online is fake or AI-made?
You will learn simple things to check before trusting a surprising photo.
Some photos online are not real. A computer can make a picture that looks real.
Often there are small clues. Look closely at hands, fingers, and teeth.
Check text in the image too. Fake photos often have odd, blurry letters.
When a photo seems shocking, slow down and look before you believe it.
Try this
- Zoom in and study hands, eyes, and fine details.
- Look for strange edges or parts that blur together.
- Check any words in the picture for odd letters.
- If it still feels off, search to see if a trusted news site shows it.
