Over-edited AI headshots are becoming more common as generative imaging tools grow in popularity. While these tools can produce stunning visuals, they often exceed realism, creating images that look unnatural or disturbing. Recognizing heavily manipulated AI faces can help you make smarter decisions about AI-generated imagery and make better use of AI-generated content.

One of the first signs of over-editing is skin that looks too smooth. Real human skin has texture, pores, and subtle variations in tone. AI models routinely erase natural skin features into a synthetic, doll-like surface. If the skin looks like it’s been airbrushed to the point of losing all detail, especially around the nose, cheeks, or forehead, it’s likely been over-processed.

A second major clue is strange ocular rendering. The neural network fails to replicate real ocular biology, resulting in reflections that don’t match the lighting in the scene. Glossy, lifeless orbs are hallmarks of excessive AI manipulation.

AI frequently mishandles hair rendering. Locks are rendered as shapeless blobs instead of strands. You might notice irregular strand spacing, mirror-image hair sections, or hair that seems to float above the scalp without any natural flow or weight. Real hair has volume, texture, and subtle imperfections that AI frequently fails to replicate accurately.

Perfect symmetry is a dead giveaway. While humans are naturally slightly uneven, true bilateral balance is almost nonexistent. AI-generated portraits often make both sides of the face mirror images, which can look artificial. Look for slight asymmetry in lip thickness. If everything lines up too perfectly, it’s probably manipulated.

The lighting and shadows can also give things away. In real photos, light interacts with the face in complex ways and generates natural depth. Shadows are either absent or incorrectly placed. For example, a shadow might appear on the opposite side of the face from the light source, or the illumination shifts unnaturally between features.

Finally, pay attention to the background and edges. Many AI headshots are generated with a artificially rendered environment, but sometimes the the cutout appears artificial. Look for unrealistic outlines, oddly cut-out edges, or incomplete edge rendering.

The goal of a good headshot is to look like a real person, not a digital ideal. When an image feels unnaturally smooth, it’s probably been digitally distorted. Follow your gut feeling. If it seems unnatural, even if you can’t pinpoint why, it’s worth verifying its source.
