I would have guessed that this was an authentic photo based on them showing up correctly in the mirror. Can AI image generators handle mirrors? That would be seriously impressive to me.
Wouldn’t the simple use of exif data be able to disprove that? Also the proof of the set, clothes, etc.?
Exif data is easily modifiable.
You can modify exif data easily, but yea I think this could be verified in a myriad of ways to legitimize the photo.
Reminded me of The Book of Veles: https://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/society-arts-culture/book-veles-jonas-bendiksen-hoodwinked-photography-industry/
I don't think AI would get the mirror reflection right?
Proooobably not yet. Apparently Midjourney (one of the better AIs for humans) no longer has a free trial, so I can't test it myself. But I tried to search and there doesn't seem to be much suggesting it can pull off a mirror realistically.
Though with how much it's improved in just a couple of years, I'm sure it's not far off from being able to.
