AI videos still leave clues. Look for distorted hands, mismatched lip movements, unnatural blinking, or backgrounds that subtly change.
Be wary of celebrity endorsements. Scammers use AI videos to promote fake shopping sites and steal your money or personal information.
Always verify before you click. Visit the retailer's official website yourself instead of following links in a video or social media post.
There was a time when seeing a video was enough to believe it. Not anymore.
Artificial intelligence can now generate convincing videos of celebrities or experts endorsing products, as well as ordinary people appearing to recommend websites that don't actually exist. Criminals are increasingly using these tools to lure consumers into fake online stores, bogus investment opportunities, and phishing designed to steal credit card numbers and passwords.
The bad news is that AI-generated videos are getting better every month. The good news is that most videos still leave clues behind, but you gotta know where to look.
With that said, here are some of the easiest ways to tell whether a video is AI or real.
1. Look closely at the hands
Hands remain one of AI's biggest weaknesses. If the hands look wonky, proceed with caution.
While modern AI has improved a ton, videos often still show fingers that briefly merge together, disappear, bend unnaturally, or even change shape from one frame to the next. A person's rings, fingernails, or even the number of fingers may subtly change throughout the video as well.
You usually won't notice these glitches while casually watching. You may need to pause the video or slow it down as it becomes much easier to spot.
Pro tip: Look for consistency. A wedding ring, fingernail color, or even the number of fingers shouldn't change from one shot to the next. If they do, be skeptical. Hands are among the most complex parts of the human body for AI to recreate consistently.
2. Watch the mouth not just the words
Many AI videos look convincing until someone starts talking.
Watch for lips that don't quite match the spoken words, teeth that suddenly change shape, or mouths that appear blurry compared to the rest of the face.
Even high-quality deepfakes sometimes struggle to synchronize speech naturally, especially during fast conversations or when someone turns their head.
