AI image generators have become remarkably proficient in a very short period, capable of creating faces that are considered to be more realistic than the real thing.

However, a new study points to a way that we can improve our AI-face detection capabilities.

Researchers from the UK tested the face-assessing capabilities of a group of 664 volunteers, consisting of super-recognizers (who have shown a high level of skill for comparing and recognizing real faces in previous studies), and people with typical face-recognition abilities.
