And for an artist who has been trained her while life to spot artifice this is especially chilling. It's not easy for me to tell, and that's frightening. I have to look for very specific things that as an artist I was trained to do, and I know the vast majority of people have no trainig in that at all.

I was suspicious not just because there are black people in it, but like most AI images of white people, trump is too smooth, clean, and shiny. He is also slimmer than in real life. As an artist I engage in imperfections and artifice. The tell for me is AI's need for perfection and smoothness. Even photographs have mistakes and rough edges. Complicating the issue is there are multiple programs out there with differing levels of skill.
