But can you tell the difference?

Both show pretty realistic portions, alongside sauce and even lemons.

But the AI-generated image definitely has some flaws.

We can reveal that the fake image is actually the first one.

There are a few key indicators.

Firstly - where are the chips?

No person in their right mind goes for cod or haddock without the chippy chips.

It looks like one may have been blended in among the fish, which isn't going to go far.

Secondly, look at the lemons.

One of them strangely has another lemon inside of it.

Now, you could say it's a person playing with their food, but it's more likely the AI not quite getting the hang of the task at hand.

Finally, that sauce on the far right doesn't look correct - unless it's been there for a seriously long time and gone hard.

The fake image was generated by The Sun using Stable Diffusion, one of the many free AI image makers that have risen in popularity of late.

All you have to do is type in what you want and it'll make a photo for you.
