Impossible Reflections
Reflections in mirrors, water, or eyes that do not match the scene.
A reflection is a second camera angle. This requires the AI to understand 3D space, which it sucks at.
The Vampire Mirror
Look at the mirror behind the person. Often, the reflection is wearing different clothes, looking a different direction, or is a different person entirely. It's spooky and a dead giveaway.
Sunglasses
Reflections in glasses are often just generic shiny glints. If the person is in a forest but their glasses reflect a city skyline? Fake.
Common Manifestations
The Different Twin: A reflection in a bathroom mirror where the person in the mirror is looking at the camera, but the real person is looking down at the sink.
Ghostly Objects: An object on a table that doesn't appear in the shiny polished reflection of the table surface.
How to Spot It
- 1Check mirrors carefully—does the reflection match the subject?
- 2Look at sunglasses—do they reflect the environment correctly?
- 3Water reflections—are the ripples distorting the image logically?
