How do you spot AI images?

Spotting AI-generated images is becoming increasingly difficult as the technology advances. While some early AI images had tell-tale signs like distorted hands or unusual backgrounds, sophisticated new tools can create hyper-realistic visuals. This makes it harder for young people to discern what's real on social media, amplifying the concerns raised by Mia Perumal and Professor Diedrichs about unrealistic beauty standards.
