On your site I can consistently get 100% by looking at the backgrounds since they generate in somewhat inorganic patterns.

That's speculative at best. What's inorganic about the background in https://veedrac.github.io/stylegan2-real-or-fake/Curated/ffh... ?

GANs still don't get teeth right. If any artificial face smiles, the teeth are a dead giveaway.

How is it speculative? The background does not always allow for the discrimination to be made but in the random sample of ~20 faces I looked it was the main factor in maybe 1/4 of the cases (I was %100 accurate on this random sample). Of course, my random sample is not your random sample. We could probably do a controlled experiment to get at these kinds of attributions systematically.

I might also say that a second major discriminating factor is skin texture, especially at boundaries.

Only watched the video, but one of the interesting things is the potential method to tell a generated image from a real one: namely, if you take a generated image, it's possible to find parameters which will generate exactly the same image. But if you take a real image, it's generally not possible to get exactly the same image, but only a similar one. The exact point in the video: https://youtu.be/c-NJtV9Jvp0?t=208

Also, looks like https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ has been updated to use the new generator.

Phew I looked at three and they all had toothy smiles where the teeth grew out out of the lips and one had a floating tooth.

Also after watching the video from the StyleGAN2 team https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f_gbKW6FUUHKkUxciJ_lQx29mCq... now I know that original StyleGAN, images from which are apparently used for this "game", produces faces with a "water droplet" and phase artifacts, so I was able to spot few fakes just by looking for those things.

I thought StyleGAN2's teeth were one of the biggest upgrades to the face proper. The original's were pretty bad, but removing the phase artefact issue seems to have made a huge difference.

Here are some examples of teeth I found pretty decent:

When not the ears, it's the background.

If the real pictures had the background removed, I'd have a very hard time scoring 100%.
