Can You Spot the AI Art?

AI-generated imagery is becoming harder to spot, but for artists, art directors, and audiences alike, learning to recognise the signs matters more than ever. From strange anatomy and inconsistent lighting to nonsensical details and overly polished textures, AI art often reveals itself the longer you look. It can imitate style, but it struggles to capture the intentionality, storytelling, and lived experience behind real illustration.

That’s why we created our latest quiz: can you spot the one human made artwork hidden amongst a series of AI-generated images?

As artists, developing your eye is just as important as developing your portfolio. Understanding how AI imagery functions can help you protect your own work and better recognise the value of authentic creative voices in the industry. Human artwork carries personality, decision-making, imperfections, and emotion in ways machines can never truly replicate.
