Dear Humans,

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. We live in a time with lots of AI-generated images and videos and Beatles songs, and it’s easy to get tricked into believing something is real that isn’t really real. 

So you’re going to have to be on the lookout. There are some technical tricks for figuring out if an image is real, but the best test is the too good to be true test. If an image makes your side look all good and the other side look all bad, it’s probably fake. 

If it’s something you really, really want to be real, then you should probably give it a second look.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
