Question 1

What is Fakeout game?

Accepted Answer

Fakeout is a no-signup free weekly challenge game that tests your ability to distinguish between real videos and photographs and AI-generated ones. Each week features new pairs of images and videos to sharpen your AI detection skills and contribute to AI literacy.

Question 2

How do you spot AI-generated images and videos?

Accepted Answer

Look for unnatural textures, inconsistent lighting, strange reflections, distorted hands or faces, impossible geometry, and artifacts in fine details like hair or text. AI-generated images often have subtle imperfections that trained eyes can detect. Visit our blog where we report some of the user feedback and statistics how you guys did in the past.

Question 3

How does the AI media detector game work?

Accepted Answer

You're presented with two videos or images - one real video or photograph and one AI-generated. Your goal is to identify which one was created by artificial intelligence. After making your selection, you'll receive immediate feedback and learn what to look for. After each guess you can investigate the prompt that was used to generate the synthetic media, which may help you understand the AI's decision-making process.

Question 4

Can AI-generated images even be detected?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While AI image generation is becoming increasingly sophisticated, there are still telltale signs that can help identify AI-generated content. With practice and knowledge of what to look for, you can improve your detection accuracy.

Question 5

Is Fakeout free to play?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Fakeout is completely free to play. You can test your AI detection skills weekly without any cost or registration required. We may monetize the site through ads to support development and pay for hosting, domain and the costs associated with generating the videos and images. So if you want to support the project, consider whitelisting our site in your ad blocker.
