The archive.is capture does not allow scrolling through the faces, so made an imgur post with the images in sequence:

9/10

Some of you really need to up your game. I do think discerning AI from real photo will be an important skill in the upcoming years.

A lot of the artifacts should be obvious (Spoilers below)

###########

1. Glasses completely and utterly fubar, the easiest

2. Orange shirt melds into his skin... creepy af

3. Mishapen iris, weird neck lines, the ocean in the background LOL. Second easiest, you could only miss this if you only focused on the face.

5. Mishapen iris.

9. Characteristic waifu, that alone should tell you its fake. Also reflection in iris is mismatched and left ear seems to blend in with hair.

I got #8 wrong, I thought the camera focus was inconsistent on the hair.


4/10

So worse than random chance


I got 1/10… The article shows the percent of people who guessed incorrectly was between 80-90% I wouldn’t be surprised if the images were handpicked out of a set after being found to be particularly difficult to guess. Or maybe I just suck at this.


6/10


Same.


Faces or feces ?
