Super-Recognisers can Detect AI-hyperrealism - Australian Research

Research by academics in Australia and Scotland, including Dr David White of the University of New South Wales, a well known expert on Super Recognisers noted the following:

The AI revolution has produced synthetic faces that often appear more human than real photos of people. We tested whether individual differences in face recognition abilities explain variation in discriminating AI from human faces. Super-recognisers—people with exceptional ability to recognise human faces (N = 36)—outperformed a standard participant group by 15 percent, and by 7 percent compared to motivated controls (Cohen’s d = 0.55; N = 89).
