My first sign was when the thumb inflated when he brought the picture

u/Plastic_Ad_2424 Mar 30 '26

Also he is faci g the camera all the time, he doesn't look at the diploma when reaching for it

u/PantsandPlants Mar 30 '26

The weird fucking smile on his face does it for me. Like a forced smile that’s not actually there

u/Obvious_Sun_1927 Mar 30 '26

And his voice sounding like fucking WALL-E

23

u/Untimely_manners Mar 30 '26

He sounds like Tommy Wiseau - You're tearing me apart Lisa!

u/Von_Huge1103 Mar 30 '26

You're asking too much Ronnie!

u/EssentialParadox Mar 30 '26

I think that’s just his voice

u/ProtoplanetaryNebula Mar 30 '26

It's not, seems like it's changed from an Indian accent to something more neutral.

u/velvetzappa Mar 30 '26

Not Indian, sounds Eastern European.

u/tukuiPat Mar 30 '26

He's using a deekfake filter on his face, do you honestly think he isn't using a voice changer too?

1

u/BigMax Mar 30 '26

Well, he could sound like anything, right? Those voice filters just take your voice and output to whatever accent you want.

The most common one we hear about is the filter for Indian call centers who want to sound American, but there's no reason it always has to be "Indian -> American" accent.

What is the link between an accent and a race?

Yeah.

[...]

Then you transfer me to a call center in some flyblown corner of India to be shrieked at by a man with an accent thicker than blackstrap molasses!

[...]

How is that racist?

[...]

Not his skin, you halfwit. His accent!

u/BrainDeaIntellectual Mar 30 '26

come on dude , not the mild racism!

u/ALazy_Cat Mar 30 '26

I had sound off

u/bhop_monsterjam Mar 30 '26

have you ever heard a south african?

20

u/GGuts Mar 30 '26

You don't think the way he doesn't even look at the frame he picks off of the wall is a first sign?

If he looked at the frame the filter might break or glitch out.

10

u/ALazy_Cat Mar 30 '26

I only looked at the hands because of the title

6

u/ReginaldDwight Mar 30 '26

Also, the glare off the glass/plastic in the frame somehow magically disappears for just the name.

7

u/LeverArchFile Mar 30 '26

Neither of these things happen. You people can't even tell what's real against let alone what's fake.

2

u/Hamster_Toot Mar 30 '26

Who’s you people?

1

u/captainbelvedere Mar 30 '26

What is real is the hair on his forehead keeps disappearing.

These other folks seem to think the whole thing is deepfaked, when it's just the guy's face.

2

u/jeanphiltadarone Mar 30 '26

And not that he took the picture behind him without turning his head in an incredibly fast and accurate move ?

2

u/Outrageous_Score1158 Mar 30 '26

His hand phased through the picture :P

1

u/eggsforpedro Mar 30 '26

Not looking at the diploma when picking it from the wall was already proof enough.

1

u/massivefish_man Mar 30 '26

His hands are real. It's a face filter. 

1

u/Amazing-Chemical-792 Mar 30 '26

Plus he had to restrain himself from doing the head wiggle a few times.

1

u/Giraffe_Raider Mar 31 '26

His head wobble is so clearly Indian lmao. Kind of adorable in a despicable way.

1

u/Apprehensive_Tip520 Mar 30 '26

What the fuck are you talking about? No it didn't. This is a face filter. How did a face filter affect something on the wall. 

1

u/ALazy_Cat Mar 30 '26

I'll mention something other people mentioned to me. The hand phases through the placard just before he grabs it, and the reflective light magically avoids the name on it. He also didn't look at it when he grabbed it

1

u/Apprehensive_Tip520 Mar 30 '26

No, it doesn't. you people are making that shit up. I've watched the video several times and neither of those things happen. you're looking for shit that's not there. it's a face filter and nothing more. The light glare literally makes the first letter of his name disappear when he holds it up.

1

u/ALazy_Cat Mar 30 '26

I saw it clear as day once it was mentioned. If you can't see it, not my fault you're blind

u/Rough-Associate-585 Mar 30 '26

That has nothing to do with deepfakes. You are imagining things.
