July 2025: Real or Not ? is a website with a quiz - are the images real or fake (AI generated). The growing quality in AI images makes them harder to spot. I took the test, it is hard and it makes you think, so a great exercise.

March 31, 2023: How to spot the Trump and Pope AI fakes by Shira Ovide for the Washington Post. Some suggestions: look for hands, background images and inanimate objects that don't look quite right. Look at the writing on objects. The background may be blurry or distorted.
