Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!
Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.
People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.
Edit 2: The data has changed slightly! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they've gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI
This is what I was suspecting. People are just guessing. I have had people adamantly claim pictures that I took were AI generated and that I was lying when I said they weren't. I see people on the internet constantly pull reasons out of their ass of why something is AI generated, saying "a real artist wouldn't make this mistake," but my wife has made those exact mistakes before.
I feel for you. A few people said the human art I put in the survey were lackluster but I thought they were pretty good, not everyone is an S-tier artist.
77% of people guessed this was AI generated, and a friend of mine kept saying it was weird and inconsistent so "I doubt a real artist would put random food in the back"
It's actually a cropped image of https://www.deviantart.com/tsaoshin/art/Strawberry-Taiyaki-Cat-905271835 . I wouldn't want to be an artist right now.
That image is adorable. It was one of my favorites from the survey.
