"Researchers from the University of Greenwich found that most people can only spot AI-generated faces a third of the time. That means you'd actually be better off guessing with your eyes closed than trying to tell the difference between real and fake faces! However, scientists say there are five 'strange anomalies' that can help you to separate fact from fiction."
"These are small distortions or things that don't look quite right, which are the best sign that a picture is generated by AI. 'It is the things that aren't aligned in the image, things that don't look right, things that are out of place,' says Professor Davis. 'You might see a slight discontinuity, things like ears in the wrong place. 'The nose wouldn't be quite right; there would be some strange patterns around it that look sort of artificial.'"
"The eyes are another common source of AI artefacts, as they might be unnaturally asymmetrical or have reflections that don't match up. Similarly, if you suspect an image might be generated by AI, experts say that you should pay close attention to their smile. AI-image generators often struggle to give faces the right number of teeth and to have those teeth appear in the right places."
Most people can only spot AI-generated faces about one-third of the time, making guessing often as effective as visual inspection. AI-generated images are becoming harder to detect as the technology improves, but they frequently include artefacts—small distortions or misalignments that reveal synthetic origin. Five reliable anomalies to check are strange nose warping, misaligned ears, unnaturally asymmetrical or reflective eyes, missing or wrongly placed teeth, and an unusual hairline. Common artefacts include discontinuities, odd patterns around the nose, mismatched eye reflections, and incorrect tooth counts. Pairwise quizzes often insert one AI-generated fake per pair to test detection skills.
