The quality on this is really awful. Lighting mismatch on the neck, no atmospheric effects, voice sounds robotic, very little movement and it’s unnatural. It’s not even a useful PoC. It’s more like a meme. I think if it actually got some traction in mainstream media - like Marina Ovsyannikova’s fake Twitter account which was quoted by journos, then you could call it a legitimate first.

- mufufu 5y agoI don’t know, honestly I felt the opposite way, maybe because I’m not Ukrainian and it’s not my native language. But I found the level of deep fake we can achieve nowadays truly scary. Even if it was a shoddy job, I feel like that’s enough to convince a lot of people, or at least stir confusion
- penjelly 5y agono doubt you're right about deepfake consequences, but i agree with parent, the quality of this particular one is bad.

- bogwog 5y agoI doubt that the average person will know it’s fake unless you tell them, at least not from the quality (maybe they’ll doubt he would ever surrender)
- tootie 5y agoBack when I used to torture myself by seeing what Trump supporters were up to on Reddit during the 2016 campaign I saw some truly awful fake images get voted up with total credulity. These kind of fakes don't really need to be high quality to catch the kind of people who are susceptible to this kind of propaganda. Doubly so when a handful of gullible users believe it, then tell their friends who tell their friends while those in the network never actually see the original image.
