Abstract

This article is based on research carried out through online observation and manual compilation of comments and images to analyze the social dynamics within a group dedicated to share images created by generative artificial intelligence. We focus mainly on a category of images designated by group members as Found in the wild: AI-generated images found by chance on the Internet, in an original context of use in which they appear to be “real” images, not produced by artificial intelligence. We analyzed the images shared in the group and their comments to discuss how group members decide whether or not an image is the product of generative AI. These images, often the subject of debate, highlight the ability of individuals to discern their artificial origin, or lack of it, and the types of knowledge mobilized in this process.
