How to detect deepfakes | Deepfakes explained?

Deepfakes are like a movie star who can change their face and voice to look and sound like someone else, and we can catch them by looking for clues they leave behind.

Imagine you're playing dress-up with your friend, and you both try to wear each other's clothes. It might not always fit perfectly, or the fabric might look a little strange. That’s how deepfakes work, they use computer tricks to make someone look like another person on video, but sometimes the trick isn’t perfect.

When you're playing dress-up, your friend might blink in a funny way or their clothes might not move just right. Similarly, when we watch a deepfake, we can look for weird blinking, odd mouth movements, or parts of the video that don't match up, like if someone's face is smooth but their hair moves strangely.

Sometimes people use special tools to help them find these clues faster. It’s like having a magnifying glass to check every detail. With practice, we get better at spotting when someone is using computer tricks instead of real magic, and that makes it easier to know who's really in the video!
