That Isn’t Me

Linus and the LTT team teamed up with Bitdefender to show off a wild new deepfake featuring “fake Linus,” proving that AI-generated video is not only easier to make than ever but also frighteningly realistic—especially for less tech-savvy viewers. They revisit their first deepfake attempt from five years ago, highlighting how fast the tech has evolved and warning that by the time you watch this, deepfakes will have leveled up again.

Behind the scenes, they walk through their pipeline—from collecting footage to training models—while stressing that audio syncing ended up being the real headache. Along the way, they drop hands-on tips for spotting deepfakes (look at blinking, lip-sync jitters, lighting inconsistencies) and point you toward expert resources so you won’t be fooled next time.
