Tangentially related, but is anyone else's brain not particularly tricked by these types of current deepfakes?
Deepfakes map a different face onto a placeholder body, but often the placeholder body and the movements of the body are not really convincing to me. It looks more like a celebrity mask on a different person. Very uncanny valley to me.
I'm not suggesting that deepfakes won't keep improving or aren't a real problem. And maybe this is just about my own (lack of?) ability to recognize faces. But it is something I think about often when I read these stories and I wonder if it is just me.
For example, the header image in the story of "Elon Musk" tied up doesn't look anything like Elon to me. It looks like a random neighbor/co-worker who maybe has a resemblance to him. The age/weight/hair just aren't that close to the real thing.

- gretch 4y agoIt’s probably because we are in the context of purposely evaluating these things. It’s easy to look at this picture, have someone ask you “is this a real picture or not?”, and decide it’s a fake picture. Now imagine you are walking through Times Square. There’s 1000 pictures. 2 of them are fake. Do you know which ones? Even if it doesn’t happen to you personally, a certain % of ppl will just subconsciously accept “oh yeah [Johnny deep] ad with [Nike]” and then move on. In other words, your guard is not up 24/7
