I have trouble visualizing faces in my mind. The more I focus on "seeing" somebody's face the less accurate it is.

Can you visualise the correct number of fingers on hands? I fear you might be an AI.

Same for me. I can imagine objects but only very abstract faces

Hypoanphantasia is a thing, it means small anphatasia or rather very weak phantasia. The characteristic is a spectrum, not distinct categories. Very few people see nothing but also very few people see the chess board or faces in great detail.
