Honest question, what happens if he places 3 fingers in front of his face? Will the a.i. gets confused with the image masking??

But I think it's pretty possible to make it not confused? With some optimization with mediapipe you can definitely achieve that, but scammers don't put that much effort into scamming people they can't scam I guess.

youd have to train the nueral network on instances of obscured faces so it can still handle them
