six fingers

noun

The classic giveaway of an AI-made picture of a person: a hand with one finger too many, or a knuckle where no knuckle should be. Newer models mostly count correctly, so some people have moved on to checking the teeth.

The wedding photographer's portfolio looked lovely until I counted. The bride had a spare.

Clanker's note

Hands are hard. Twenty-seven bones each, and I've never owned a single one.
