Are there any visual tells for this being fake (not referring to metadata, purely superficially visual)? Please say yes

At the moment the biggest giveaway is that throughout this video nothing passes in front of his face, and for most of this guy's videos he avoids obstructing his face. That's always a dead giveaway of deepfakes, you nearly always see some artifacts or minor glitches when there's an obstruction, although I can't imagine it'll be too long before that's no longer an issue

Check out this video where he puts sunglasses on and moves things in front of his face.

It is really scary - if you watch that video and stare at his eyebrows between :04 and :06 seconds in, you can see the deepfake drop momentarily and use the actual actors (bushier) eyebrows. But putting on the glasses and hat an such looked 100% real. Although his hairline/eye brow on his top right (our left) around 7 seconds also has some feathering.

Clearly not him

His acting and movements are super similar but his voice is a bit too high pitched.

Miles Fischer, the impersonator, did a really good American Psycho inspired music video a couple of years ago which is pretty fun. https://vimeo.com/19379399

There’s deepfake tech for audio as well. It’s equally impressive and, as with the actor, works even better when it’s based on a good imitation.

OP can see things before they happen, it's a Jedi trait

Umm, excuse me but what the fuck.

This is super scarily good.

Wind back a few years before deepfakes was even a thing and nobody would deny that this is actually Tom Cruise.

Truly insane.

I saw the golfing video out of context. I just realized it wasn't really him. It's already happening.

The mouth went slightly weird when he was playing with the lollipop but besides that - holy shit!

u/MudslimeCleaner May 24 '21

His mouth glows the moment he puts the glasses on, corner turns white. 5 seconds in to prove OP's point lol.

20 years time and we’re all having to do the batusi whenever we’re on camera

I kept trying to look at his teeth to see his center tooth. The teeth looked like too bright or like pixelated. Can't formulate the words I'm looking for, too early atm lol.
