Since subreddits related to identifying AI images/videos got very popular, my wife started to send me cute AI generated videos, older family members can't distinguish AI videos at all, I've decided to code a weekend side project to train their Spidey sense for AI content.

https://IsThisAI.lol

The content is hand picked from tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit and other AI generating platforms.

Honestly I don't know where I'm going with this, but I felt the urge to create it, so here it is.

I learned how to optimize serving assets on CloudFlare.

Feedback welcome.

It would be cool if you could see the image/video again after choosing. I always want to watch it again after a wrong guess.

Tricky! I often also guess wrong. But I noticed it has some bug. Sometimes I can click either option "AI Generated" or "Real" and nothing happens. Even if I click 10 times, still nothing happens. The buttons must have some broken event handling or something.

EDIT: Hm, I switched tab, away to write this comment, now that I switched back, it showed me that I clicked correctly. So it seems, that sometimes it just has huge delay in accepting my choice?

+1 for training parents' tech literacy.

I dunno if/how this could be taught, but I feel like half the battle is critical thinking with an adversarial mindset towards media -- who would make this, why would they want to show me, do I see anything that makes this impossible, is it worth engaging with in the first place, can I fact check this.

I love this. Each time my parents need their wifi fixed I'm going to make them do 5 of this app before it get to work.

I somewhat like it for what it is, but expected something else based on description. This is just a real/ai guesser that doesn't really train you at all.
