How to distinguish between real and AI?

It is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and AI-generated content in today’s world.

But there are some simple signs to check, like:

AI-generated content may show unnatural faces, unclear or extra fingers, strange lighting or shadows, and blurry edges. 

In videos, the voice may sound robotic, or the lip movement may not match the words being spoken.

Checking the source is very important. Videos shared by unknown social media pages or without any official information should be treated carefully. 

Big incidents are usually reported by trusted news organisations. Content with shocking or scary captions is often made to mislead people. 

If something looks doubtful, it is better to verify it before believing or sharing it.
