Deepfakes are AI-generated videos or images designed to look real. Identifying them requires looking for subtle physical errors.
Check for visual anomalies like unnatural blinking, mismatched earrings, or blurred edges around the jawline and hair.
Listen to the audio. Synthetic voices often lack natural breathing patterns and may have a metallic or consistent pitch.
Use technical tools like ZeroGPT's DeepAnalyse™ to scan text and media for signs of machine generation and synthetic patterns.
Verify the source. If a video shows a major event but isn't reported by any news outlets, it is likely a fabrication.
Analyze the physics of the scene. Look for shadows that don't match the light or reflections that stay static when they should move.
