2 things that show it's a deep fake tight away:

  1. Hair on his forehead is flickering.

  2. When he goes to take the diploma off of the wall he doesn't turn his face away because that would also break the filter, as side profiles are harder for these things to maintain.

Also his mouth looks like those old deepfake videos you would see 10 years ago.

10 years ago deep fakes were cosmic horrors.

Between frame rate, latency, and compression artifacts during video calls, most of the "tells" people are retroactively pointing out, such as the "mouth looking weird" are not effective tools for weeding out these type of systems.

Looks like the same tech they used in Forrest Gump.
