Midjourney or museum? Test your eye for AI versus human-made art
By 2024, over 15 billion AI images had been generated — more than all 19th-century photographs combined. The leap from DALL-E 2's April 2022 launch to Midjourney v6 and GPT-4o image generation has redrawn the line between human and machine art faster than copyright law, museums, or art contests can keep up.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll cover the launches of DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, the Jason Allen Colorado State Fair controversy, the Getty Images vs Stability AI lawsuit, the Boris Eldagsen Sony Photography Award scandal, AI image tells like extra fingers and garbled text, detection tools like Hive Moderation, the C2PA Content Credentials standard, and 2025's Studio Ghibli style controversy.
Typical 2022-2023 tells included extra fingers, mangled hands, garbled background text, mismatched earrings, and inconsistent lighting; many of these were largely solved by 2024.
The US Copyright Office ruled in 2023 that purely AI-generated works are not eligible for copyright protection.
Allen won the Colorado State Fair digital art category with a Midjourney image, igniting a global debate about AI competing in human art contests.
