Blind test: AI interior photos were picked as real only 52.8% of the time

According to a post on X by @Everypixelcom, Everypixel had 13 production professionals compare real photos with AI images from models including GPT Image 2, Qwen and FLUX, without knowing which was which. Participants picked the real interior photo only 52.8% of the time, close to a coin flip. They did better on other categories, spotting real people photos 80.6% of the time and real food photos 75% of the time. The post also links to a Everypixel journal article on which photo shoots AI can replace.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Everypixel had 13 production professionals compare real photos with AI images (from models including GPT Image 2, Qwen and FLUX) without knowing which was which. They picked the real interior photo only 52.8% of the time, basically a coin flip, but spotted real people photos 80.6% of the time and real food 75%....

Teams that commission interior photography may find this result relevant, since the panel was close to chance on interiors. Real people and food photos were easier for the panel to identify.
