Impressive, given that there were only seven image pairs.
I got 7 of 7.
The CGI is getting really good, but it's still not entirely there. Hair and skin are tough to do right (especially in close-up) and most of it is still "too perfect."
Also, a few were just obvious, esp. when one image involved a half-body shot including hands, clothing, etc., and the other was a face shot.
I will say this, however; They've crossed over the uncanny valley, at least for still images.

This wasn't really a fair test. Having been told that one image of every pair is CG, it becomes a simple matter of determining which one of each pair looks slightly less unreal than the other, and then determining that that isn't the image which you're not supposed to believe is not fabricated.
Had they presented 14 unrelated images and said "Some of these images are CG; pick which ones" without pairing them up or telling you how many were real vs. how many were CG, then I'd have likely missed several.
It'll still be a long time before they get motion down. That's a whole different animal from just simple lighting and textures. But for still images, I'd posit that within ten years it'll be hard to tell the difference, even side by side. At this point, they're down to the genuinely trivial, like making individual hairs behave correctly, distributing pores in skin in that sort-of-but-not-quite-pseudo-random way, recognizing that skin itself is actually slightly translucent and comprised of several layers, etc.
