This study investigates the impact of generated images created by recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence on young adults, compared to natural images. The research aims to assess whether adolescents can effectively distinguish between AI-generated and natural images. Utilizing a Google survey, the study measures participants’ perceived ability to differentiate these images versus their actual performance, thereby evaluating their metacognitive awareness. Additionally, the research explores the implications of these findings on environmental education.
