Most of those are pretty evidently distinguishable from real life...<p>The issue here - and the point being made - is that we are <i>already</i> at the stage where many CG images can fool even close observers, and we&#x27;ve been here for some time.<p>We&#x27;ve been passing around these &quot;CGI OR REAL?!!!!&quot; images for a few years at least, and when they are first created people really can&#x27;t tell the difference, but yet somehow when people get used to the tech and revisit these images a few years down the line they look <i>obviously</i> synthesized.<p>Ditto older movies like Jurassic Park, whose cutting edge CGI of the time were convincing even when viewing frame-by-frame, but to savvy eyes appears downright obvious today.<p>So clearly &quot;photoreal&quot; is something we haven&#x27;t reached yet. IMO the indicator that we&#x27;ve reached &quot;true photoreal&quot; is when an image rendered 5 years ago still holds up to fresh eyes.
