Re:Deepfakes: MIT brings Nixon's Apollo disaster speech to life by proverbialbunny on Friday November 22, 2019 @06:51PM (#21611335)
If you're not old enough to tell what Nixon was really like, then you don't have that comparison. You wouldn't suspect it was a fake without being told.

However, there are some clear give-a-ways that may or may not stick around, priming at least myself into identifying a deep fake from not: His movements do not line up with the way muscles work in the human body. In a single direction it works, but how he bounces back would cause a lot of neck strain, so no one would do that.

Yeah the acting is off. The mouth doesn't seem to carry the same gravitas and tension that his eyes do.

Also there's a line across his cheek in the closeup and the bottom left hand corner of the mouth fades into a blurry mess once or twice. The deepfake look generates blurry results for blending.
