AI is getting better and better at generating faces — but you can train to spot the fakes

SMRTR summary

AI-generated faces have become so realistic that even "super recognizers" with exceptional facial processing abilities can only spot fake faces 41% of the time, while typical people identify just 30% correctly. However, a brief five-minute training session that teaches people to look for rendering errors like unnatural hairlines and odd teeth significantly improved detection rates to 64% for super recognizers and 51% for typical people.
