3 of 6 deepfake detectors flag almost all frames of a robot face

The authors write that the detectors flag a face that is not a human face. They do not find a forgery. Light JPEG compression makes the effect small.

Six deepfake detectors shown a real robot face Six equal squares, one per detector. Three red squares flag almost every robot frame, two dark grey squares flag under 7%, and one light square is the other detector. Detectors were set to flag 5% of real faces. 6 detectors Real faces flagged: 5% 3 Almost every robot frame 2 Under 7% 1 other No pixel was edited. Real camera, robot face.
