Imagine talking to the CEO of a favorite crypto project that you liked, including two extra team members on video call, and they managed to confuse you that they are picking few numbers of people to invest into the second seed round at a cheaper rate per token?
Out of nowhere my favorite Cryptocurrency project CEO video calls me to tell me I have been chosen to invest at lower rate. Sure.
Who the hell believes this. Deep Fake technology has been existent in a while around the Cryptocurrency Scams area. But no matter how deep they are faked, you can STILL see something being wrong about it. You can reproduce the voice but not perfectly. Same thing about the face. Even if you perfectly copied the two, you would need to have the same attitude, personality and choice of words the CEO has to fool some body.
It is easy to fool some body naive or who acts out of greed with zero critical thinking. You do not even need Deep Fakes for that.
