Want to spot a deepfake? The eyes could be a giveaway

A technique from astronomy could reveal reflection differences in AI-generated people’s eyeballs

Two side-by-side images and closeups of their eyes (displayed under their images) reveal that the image on the left is a real picture of the actress Scarlett Johansson while the image on the right is AI-generated. The tip-off is that the reflections in their left and right eyes don't match.

Reflections in the eyeballs of these images reveal that the one on the right is AI-generated, while the image on the left is a real photo (of the actress Scarlett Johansson).
