Aiways wanted to pAint without pAint, and make images without a camera.
No ISO, no f-stops, no shutter, no flash — just light, thought, and a little code.

Congratulations to the winners!
Do I understand that this is an AI image? If not, please help me understand. Thank you.
I ran it through several AI detectors and it came back as AI.
Makes me wonder what criteria or elements of this image made your AI detectors come to that conclusion?
The only part of this picture that looks really weird to me is the eyebrow on the left is so much blurrier than the one on the right. The whole eye on the left is a touch softer. And the middle of her forehead where the texture is so different than the darker skin to its left is a bit odd too.
I think it was the description that clued us all in.
True... but I'm still curious as to what the AI detector saw. I didn't even know there was such a thing.
If I understand correctly, most use a combination of reviewing the image for odd pixel patterns and other image patterns that don't make sense in a normal photograph. A heavily photoshopped real photo can also be triggered as AI by some of these AI detectors. They're also not 100% accurate, which is why I tend to run an image through multiple...but then like Marian said, the description was a dead give away.
Interesting. Thank-you. For whatever reason, AI detectors made me think of my experience with radar detectors back a few decades ago, where technology on both sides (fast drivers and police) tried to outsmart the other, leading to continuous updates and improvements in technology. I imagine AI will improve to the point where it can't be distinguished from a camera generated picture. After all, it's all just pixels.
Funny enough, I'm former law enforcement and radar detectors worked, lidar detectors didn't if you understood how each technology works. Bug agreed, once you've experienced 115mph in a crown vic and the back end floating, you've had your fill of speed lol.
It was the Trans Am that was my problem.
Thanks for the info.
Several Ai detectors. that is very interesting.
Which one does the best job?
I don't know if any do "the best" job, which is why I run it through several.
The contest says : Anything is fair game for this critique! 🙏 The big question remains, is it Ai? Interesting to see the comments here. Does it mean we are the point where we can't see anymore? Or does this mean this was taken by a camera after all?
Seeing as your larger portfolio not posted on F-Stoppers is cityscapes and abstracts, with zero portraiture featured, I'm guessing this is AI. If it wasn't, this would be a portfolio piece and would show up in a reverse image search. There's also something off about the bokeh fall-off that appears slightly off to me, but artificial bokeh could do that too.
You got me 😎
