The "Deepfake Puppetry" term used in the article seemed to me like an improved term, an excellent and accurate description. It is using deepfake technology, and the "puppetry" term both describes accurately what it is doing — animating a target image like a puppet — and includes a vivid description to the nontechnical audience. "Facial Masking" is not bad either, quite accurate, but I'm not sure it provides as broad a description than "Deepfake Puppetry". Either way, it is important to get a term that is both accurate and resonating with the audience to ensure that the general public understands the serious potential damage for this technology (as with any powerful tool, can be used for good or evil).
