How to spot a deepfake

Interesting fold that Dutch leader Mark Rutte has there on his collar. Inconsistencies can be found at the edges of a face swap. These are mostly visible when those edges are close to clothing, hair or jewelry. Can you spot it?

Interesting choice of earrings. Two different ones and they are somewhat amorphous. For a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) it is hard to detail intricate jewelry. Often, it puts different earrings in the ears, even though most people do not wear them this way. Also, have a close look at the point where the earring is connected to the ear, and you can say whether the image is a deepfake or not.

You may think you're looking at someone who is wearing glasses, but are you? If you look closely, you can see that the glasses are different on the left and the right side. One glass has an oval shape, the other is more angular. Did you notice this?

Backgrounds that look more like a Martian landscape than a blurry background due to depth of focus are not to be trusted. Look at this background, what is happening here? Where could this be? Do you trust this?

Teeth are hard to 'imagine' by GANs. Sometimes it is clearly visible that teeth are amorphous and do not have clearly defined edges. Do you spot it here?

Clothing is individual, and there is a diverse array of different styles. But what is happening here? Can it really be that this person’s neck hair is taking over his shirt? Is it a shirt? Do you trust this?

This might well be the most difficult deepfake to spot. Would you expect to see hair growing on her forehead? Did you spot the clue?
