Deepfake video conferencing fraud

How do you know you're talking to real people? They Deepfaked faces and voices.

I suppose it's an argument against video-conferenced meetings.

I'm doubting the story. AI isn’t that good yet. This guy must be dumb.

Jensen Huang's launch video of the RTX 30 series was almost entirely CGI.

I was wondering if there was a way to test for AI during a conversation, such as dropping a random unconnected word into a sentence and gauging the reaction.

As I read the article the people were real; rather, their faces and voices were changed. So that sort of test would not help. Realtime voice and face changers are a quick Google away. I am unfamiliar with them so I have no idea as to their quality but this level of scammer is going to invest in the best. And webcams aren't the best cameras in the world so the quality doesn't have to be movie quality.
