The correct answer is:
"There are visible artifacts, distortions, or inconsistencies in the facial expressions and movements of the public figure."
Here's why each option breaks down:
-
Visible artifacts/distortions in facial expressions - This is the hallmark of a cheap fake (or low-quality manipulation). Cheap fakes are crudely edited videos - sped up, slowed down, or poorly spliced - that leave obvious visual glitches, unnatural movements, or facial inconsistencies that are easy to spot.
-
Seamless lip synchronization - This is actually a feature of a sophisticated deep fake, not a cheap fake. Advanced AI-generated deepfakes are specifically designed to match lip movements perfectly to the audio.
-
Realistic background matching known settings - This would suggest a convincing, well-produced video, more consistent with a deepfake or authentic video, not a cheap fake.
-
Shared by a reputable news organization - This relates to source credibility, not the technical characteristics of the video itself. It has nothing to do with fake vs. deep fake classification.
Key distinction: A "cheap fake" relies on basic editing tricks (cuts, speed changes, out-of-context clips) and leaves visible flaws. A "deep fake" uses AI/machine learning to generate realistic synthetic media with smooth, believable results. Visible artifacts = cheap fake.
