Field of Fakes: The Corn That Was Too Perfect
The image making rounds on social media shows corn stalks overflowing with multiple ears each, row upon flawless row. Looks bountiful — but is it believable? We ran the photo through our AI Image Detector, and it flagged it as 67% AI-generated.
Here's why it's suspicious: in real agriculture, corn typically grows just 1–2 ears per stalk. This image, packed with symmetrical, bumper-crop fantasy stalks, is a classic product of AI tools like Midjourney and does not reflect how corn actually grows. These AI-generated crop photos might look gorgeous, but they plant unrealistic ideas about farming and set up deepfake illusions that real fields simply can't match.
When in doubt, give suspiciously flawless images a run through an AI detector. Farming is hard work — and almost never this picture-perfect.
