My cousin sent me a clip of a politician I KNOW he doesn't support, and one look at the neck seam gave it away
Honestly I keep seeing people in comment sections argue about whether a fake is real based on stuff that doesn't matter at all, like the audio or the eyebrows, when the dead giveaway is almost always the neck and jawline. My cousin sent me a clip last week of a senator saying something insane, and he was ready to believe it until I told him to pause at the 0:14 mark and look at where the chin meets the collar. There was this weird smudge where the jaw blurred into the shirt for a split second, like the edges were melting. That happens because most of these tools blend two images and the model never learned how a real neck moves when someone talks. I've been messing with face swap apps for about 8 months now and every single one I've tried does the same thing in the same spot. People keep zooming in on the mouth or the blinking, but the mouth is easy to fake, the neck is where it falls apart. Next time someone drops a clip, freeze it right when the head turns and check that seam. What's the one spot that always gives it away for you?
