Spot the Fake

AI pictures and videos are everywhere. Can you catch them?

The lesson

Media literacy for the AI age: the six tells of AI-made images (weird hands, melted text, too-perfect light), and the mindset that beats every tell — when something is AMAZING, check before you share. The most important lesson in Kids' Corner.

The picture to keep

The six tells: hands · text · backgrounds · light · symmetry · "too perfect."

Try it — 60 seconds

With a grown-up: search "AI generated image examples" and play real-or-fake together. Keep score. Talk about what gave each one away.

Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whichever you already use. Fill in the brackets with your real life.

Watch out

The fakes are getting better, so the tells will stop working. The habit that never stops working: amazing claim → check it somewhere real before you believe or share it.
