Why does zuko have a scar on both sides here? Is this AI-generated?

Nah, it's a meme edit that's at least six years old at this point. Here's one of the earliest examples I could find.

There wasn't an original visual design to compare to, since the original character was in a book, but in the novel Ready Player One, Art3mis is described as having a hideous birthmark on her face, which she's ashamed of and keeps obscured with her hair.

In the movie, it's a slightly red tint to her skin around one eye. Barely noticeable in most shots.
