It's worth noting that although at a first glance the face looks extremely realistic, there are some details that don't quite make sense and hint at a randomly-generated face. This is what I got: https://i.imgur.com/iCfzjkZ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iCfzjkZ.jpg In no specific order: - weird hair above the person's right eye, that doesn't match with the overall hairstyle (the patch of short hair) or realistic hair behaviour (straight bit of hair) - what seems like beard on the chin, with unrealistic lighting - hair turns into leaves at the bottom - weird reflex in the left glass - mismatching shapes for glasses (there's a small bump only on the right glass)

I noticed that there's generally odd texturing and hair placement. Wrinkles on an otherwise smooth face, or in weird places / directions. Hair of a mismatched color. The unusual facial texturing seems to occur more on the right side of these images.

It's also worth noting that a couple of years ago, most GAN-generated faces looked obviously wrong at 128x128px. It's entirely plausible that this approach is ultimately a dead end, but it's also plausible that we're at a crucial inflection point in the development of computing.

Hrm, your example was quite glaring in its flaws, most of the images I saw, on the other hand, looked quite flawless. I actually came here to disagree with someone else who stated the images he saw had alien-like alarming characteristics, or something along those lines. I can’t tell most of these are fake even at full size on an XS Max.

  There are some weird and disturbing artifacts if in one of the composite images, the person was touching their face: https://imgur.com/a/ptgKbh1 https://imgur.com/a/ptgKbh1
