7/10. Real people are much uglier than what AI generates, e.g. more skin texture, asymmetrical features, odd face proportions etc. Unfortunately makes telling apart edited/filtered images of real people very difficult from AI generated ones.

IIRC people find "average" looking faces much more attractive, and if AI is essentially mushing many different faces together this would make sense.

I think they purposefully picked real people with slightly odd proportions to try and throw you off, but did it a little too consistently making it easier to guess. I think with more work put into it it would be very hard to tell. It's hard to tell and this is just a quickly thrown together blog quiz.
