So, the NYT’s story about AI-generated faces is getting a lot of attention. It’s a phenom I encountered when I was recently mobbed by pro-CCP folk on Twitter and some of them used AI-generated avatars, like this one:

Look pretty normal but there are a number of “tells”. Let’s look. Here’s one: a weird fleshy protuberance out of the side of her head that clearly isn’t an ear

Here’s another: a missing earring. AI faces often have missing or mismatched earrings

Similarly, this ear is suspiciously smooth and devoid of structure

Look at this tooth. It’s wide. It’s WEIRDLY wide. Even the person who said this was their face agreed it was wide. The reason is not dental: it’s because AI sucks when it comes to teeth

What’s this? Why does this clothing just merge into skin?

The biggest question tho is: could you please introduce me to your conjoined twin with whom you share a shoulder?

Anyway, here’s a link to the excellent NYT piece.
