Abstract: Social media profoundly influences modern society, offering both opportunities and risks for communication. This paper examines the ability to identify AI-generated images through an online survey, investigating factors that affect participants' discernment between authentic photographs and AI-generated images. The findings highlight perceptual biases linked to generative AI technology, impacting perceptions of authenticity. The findings emphasize the importance of promoting media literacy and visual critical thinking, particularly regarding generative AI, as a key strategy in combating disinformation.
