Ways to Spot Deepfakes

Look at the Backgrounds A vaguely blurred background, smooth surfaces, or lines that don’t match up are red flags that an image or video is AI generated. Changing or odd clothing patterns are also a common giveaway. Consider Context Think about the scenery and how it matches - or doesn’t match - the current climate, season, or physical possibility. If it seems off, it’s likely suspicious and needs more scrutiny. Vehicles may be on the wrong side of the street or signs facing the wrong direction. So pay attention to things that “just don’t look right.”

Proportions are a Good Sign Look at objects and if they are “mushed” together or seem too large or too small, it may be a fake. Buildings may appear too close together or odd in proportion.

Check out Body Parts or Features Watch extremities - like fingers, ears, and feet - as they are often difficult for AI to imitate. Fingers often appear oddly long or there may be too many. The lower portion of the face, like the chin and the neck, are often difficult for AI to generate accurately when moving. Hair is difficult as well, especially if moving. If it looks odd, it may be fake.
