About Real or AI?
Real or AI? is a game about a simple question that gets harder every month: can you tell real footage from AI-generated video? Each clip is either genuine footage or a clip generated by an AI model. You tap your call, then see how everyone else voted.
Where the clips come from
- Real clips are used under their Creative Commons licenses (CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA and public domain) from Wikimedia Commons. Every real clip is credited by author and license in its reveal, with a link to the source.
- AI clips are generated by us with models including Seedance, Hailuo, Wan 2.1, xAI Grok and OpenAI image generation, and are labeled as AI in every reveal. None of them depict real people or events.
Scoring
A correct call earns 10 rep; consecutive correct calls add a streak bonus. Boards reset daily; the all-time board never does. "The house" is a computer player that is right about 64% of the time — beat it.
The live show
The same game runs as a nightly live show with chat voting on YouTube.
