Fake faces generated by AI are now "too good to be true," researchers warn
Also: People tend to overestimate their face recognition ability
The takeaway: The ability of AI models to produce convincing, human-like images has gone too far. A new study suggests that detecting AI-generated faces is now too difficult for most people. Even more concerning, so-called "super recognizers" perform only marginally better. The visual clues that once exposed AI-generated images are becoming increasingly difficult to spot, though they have not disappeared entirely.
