In a recent paper, researchers showed how to train to be better able to tell AI-generated face images from those of real humans. Compared with real faces, AI-generated faces tend to be more symmetrical, more proportional and more attractive—while also being less expressive, less distinctive and significantly less memorable. When the researchers taught participants to look for these six markers instead of fleeting artifacts such as malformed ears or mismatched jewelry, their accuracy in spotting an AI face almost doubled, from about 40 to 80 percent success on a comparison task. How to spot an AI-generated face, according to science, by Sam Macdonald. This is interesting, though I suspect that it is also, over time, a losing battle.
