Faces are very well done these days, you can go to https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ and keep refreshing images. Eventuall you’ll notice little things, like earrings not matching or sunglasses being 2 different halves melded together, hats and hair can look weird, etc
That’s wild. Some of them are really good, but I see what you mean once you keep refreshing the page. Glasses are a good tell once you look closely. Earlobes also appear to be difficult to perfect as well.
I went back to the NYT article and tried again with my goldfish memory using that deduction and got 6/10.
Also, these are all emulating professional camera conditions. In a more standard phone photo scenario, the lower quality can lead to all sorts of weird looking illusions in real photos that can make them look ai generated. I was playing with some AI photo editing and saw some things that looked off which I thought was the generation messing up, but after checking the original photo again I saw that the weird stuff was actually in the original photo due to weird shadows or motion blur.
I was mostly looking for details to indicate the person was real. Got 8/10. Someone had an odd tooth, someone else’s eyebrow hair looked like they had just woken up. There was one picture I immediately knew was AI, because it just seemed off. Another had some strange wrinkle texture on the neck that just seemed unnatural. One of the 2 I got wrong because I thought the eye wrinkles were too much for the rest of the face. Turned out to be a real person.
I got 6/10. For me the thing I was looking for most was images that seemed to have wrinkles and things that seemed slightly blurred out. I don’t know if this is because it’s trained on a dataset where real people frequently do this (which is why it’s only a 6/10, because many pictures of real people have this feature as well), or if it’s because it’s generating detail and that’s just how it looks in current versions.
2/10. Are there any giveaways that a face is AI generated?

But most of them appear very human

For me it was the eyes. Pretty much all of the real faces had realistic reflections in the eyes. The AI ones didn’t.
I got 8/10. The blond AI and the dude with glasses were the two I missed.
At least until AI image generators turn RTX on and do path tracing.

2/10 here as well. I went fast to test myself.
The eyes. Look for non-circular pupils or noticeably different-sized pupils.
You beat random chance! I mean in the opposite direction… So I’m not really sure what that says…
