Resolution criteria

• This market will resolve to "It is real" if the image provided by the creator is verified to be a genuine photograph, digital photograph, or human-created art without the use of generative AI tools.

• This market will resolve to "AI-generated" if the image is verified to have been created using a generative AI model (such as Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Flux, or similar).

• Verification must come from one of the following, in order of priority:

  1. Direct attribution or statement from the original creator or source of the image.

  2. A consensus or finding from reputable fact-checking organizations (e.g., Snopes, FactCheck.org) or major news outlets.

  3. Conclusive digital forensic analysis or metadata.

• If the image is a hybrid (such as a real photo modified with generative AI tools), the market will resolve based on whether the primary subject or a substantial portion of the image was generatively created.

• If no definitive proof or consensus emerges by the resolution date, the market will resolve at the creator's discretion using the best available evidence, or to N/A if it remains entirely ambiguous.

Background

Determining whether an image is AI-generated or real has become increasingly challenging with the rapid advancement of photorealistic text-to-image models. Traders should inspect the image provided by the creator for common signs of AI generation, such as anatomical anomalies, unnatural textures, inconsistent lighting, or nonsensical background details. Performing a reverse image search to locate the original context and source of the image is often the most reliable method for verifying its authenticity.
