Interesting finding. I would strongly caution against using this to assume that one can be sure a face is generated, but good heuristic to know.
And beyond detection: this is another finding that suggests gen AI has a normative, flattening character with potentially dangerous social effects.

  "Compared with real faces, AI-generated faces tend to be more symmetrical, more proportional, and more attractive — while also being less expressive, less distinctive and significantly less memorable. When the researchers trained participants to look for these six markers instead of fleeting artifacts like malformed ears or mismatched jewelry, their ability to spot the AI face almost doubled."
