#2It still looks wrong. There's still some of the floating/stuck-on head feeling about it.
Or is that just because we already know it's fake from the headline?
(... and the way that the flag moves is totally wrong .../s).

No one says that deep fakes are production ready today... but given the speed of progress, they’re going to be in FAR less time than takes for our social and political systems to mount a response, so there’s going to be some fucked up consequences of them.

That's true, but you have to also realize that Nixon looks wrong on TV in general. Maybe they did too good of a deep-fake. ;)

You’d have to be paying real close attention to notice that, which you are primed to do because you’ve been told it’s a deep fake. You’re probably also more of an expert than most.
But think of the general US electorate. How many of them, seeing this clip on the news as they prepare dinner, would know it’s fake?

I don't agree. If I didn't know that was a deepfake, there is no way I would guess that it is. It's more than good enough to convince me.
