Summary
Determining whether a video or image is a deepfake can be difficult, but there are some telltale signs suggesting it might not be genuine, especially if there are glaring inconsistencies in facial expressions, voice, or object interaction.
One way to determine a deepfake is by doing a reverse image or video search to see if the same content appears elsewhere with different names or originates from a stock image site.
For video calls, asking the person to move their head to the side quickly is a telling sign, as AI-generated videos often result in a robotic, unnatural movement.
The pope jacket deepfake is a famous example of bad object interaction, as the cross looked more like a bag than a necklace, and the jacket looked like a weightlifting belt.
In summary, anything that looks slightly off should be a red flag, as AI-generated content is currently not advanced enough to create genuinely life-like interactions, especially with objects.
