I’m sure we will see more and more of this. One question is when they get so good, how can people figure out that it’s a deep fake or a real human? Will we have captchas for videos soon ? sigh

Good question, maybe sign your videos with a key?

Or perhaps another neural network to distinguish the real from the fake?

If I understood it correctly, deepfakes are relatively easy to detect by software if you know what you’re looking for. I can imagine video conferencing software can implement this, and display a warning in similar ways that phishing emails are currently handled.

Spotting it in a static photo may be harder, but the artifacts will be really obvious in a video until the technology progresses considerably

I wish deepfake could get the mouth part right. It's been the biggest challenge since the first CGI face animations and is always the giveaway.

Good answer to the question asked in a different comment regarding detecting such fakes!
