Is there a way to tell if AI has been added or used in an image?

If I take one of my images and use AI to, um, enhance ut, is there any EXIF or metadate info that this has been done? I've included a couple of my images. The 2dn one is pretty obvious it isn't real, but the 1st isn't. And I have another wtaken while kayaking in a swamp. I added a bear hovering on the river bank.

How are any of these different from merging layers?

@charlottem89846831 Adobe is working towards this goal on several fronts both through tamper evident metadata and with detection software.

One way that Adobe is trying to maintain confidence in image authenticity is by supporting the Content Authenticity Initiative through Content Credentials, which are tamper-evident metadata. There’s some info on this web page:

Content Credentials

Quote from the page:

Generative AI transparency
Content Credentials indicating the use of generative AI tools will be included with all content generated with Adobe Firefly to help promote transparency around the use of generative AI. In the future, Content Credentials from other Adobe apps will also support indicating that generative AI was used in the creative process.

The answer to your question is yes. Generative Fill is traceable through Content Credentials.

There is no way to get away with it... 🙂

"(...) Adobe automatically applies Content Credentials to assets generated with Adobe Firefly features, such as Text to Image, Text Effects, Generative Fill, and Generative Recolor (...)

but isn't generative fill just a more sophisticated healing brush? and doesn't healing brush use a kind of AI to figure out what to do? I've been gone from the dev world to know how these are programmed, but functioning it looks to me like generative fill is just advanced healing.

That question does not seem terribly relevant.

After all isn’t a car just a »more sophisticated« cart?

Edit: One notable difference between Generative Fill and Healing Brush would be the ability to process verbal prompts (no matter how good one considers a particular result to be).
