This. The generator is really bad at compositing people into the image. So while from the actual face it's sometimes hard to tell, backdrop and foreground items (like a mic or toy) are a giveaway. So is face paint or unusual props (fake mustarch or carnival custome). Especially since a lot of images from the real humans dataset seem to contain these. So next time you're on a video call with someone and you're unsure if they're human or not, ask them to draw a letter on their face or have them dress like a pirate ;-)

>So next time you're on a video call with someone and you're unsure if they're human or not, ask them to draw a letter on their face or have them dress like a pirate ;-) is that a thing now? my cursory search for "deepfake video call" gave me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYSmp-nrJ7M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYSmp-nrJ7M but other than that, there is just youtubers goofing around with the tech. Do you know of a "good quality" deepfake video call that can fool us like the whilefaceisreal does sometimes?

  Some German politicians thought they had video calls with Klitschko. But it was a deep fake. Maybe there are more instances, but this made the local news. I only get localized results on the phone, so here is a German link. Use deepl or Google translate: https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/rbb/deep-fake-klitschko-105.html https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/rbb/deep-fake-klitsch...

    ah.... so it "has" already caused some problems. in that case it does look like an interesting idea.... btw, firefox has a first party translator that is on-device so that works nicely, btw

      Yeah. In that case I think the intention was to have them look bad. And since the faked person is a celebrity, enough data was available to produce a fake of suitable quality. Maybe we will see this in the future for CEO scams. Though in that case maybe a good UI that clearly indicates that the victim is called by an external user "Mr. Big CEO <hackerperson@totally-not-s.us>" might already be helpful.
