I disagree... While you certainly could create something almost like it. There are imperfections that give it away... those come down to artistic skill, not computer power.
some things look planned or 'right' when you see things that don't exactly look right, but are natural at the same time, is what tells a real image.
In image 3. the topmost curve is slightly bent-out... either a manufacturing mistake or from use (likely use, if it was ever used) There are other things. in the lighting. The background could be more-or-less duplicated. It is the screw itself that is the tell.
in 9. I knew right away it was real. For 2 reasons. It would be so easy to make digitally that it wouldn't be amazing, as thusly, was an obvious red-herring. And also, there are imperfections in the glass. I would expect there not to be, in a render. I wouldn't expect someone to go through the trouble of altering the geometery of a glass plane with all those colored bubbles in there. It would be a detail not missed.... Specially since you would never get such a close look at this, since it isn't really a feature.
It is also important to note, I have never ever been fooled into thinking a CG image was real. Not once.
I might be fooled into falsely calling something real fake, but it would be being fooled into it... based on doubt. But I would never falsely pin a CG image as real..
Feel free to test that. It is a challenge
