Abstract

We present an exploratory study of how people detect deepfake videos. Through watching a set of real and fake videos, and semi-structured interviews, participants identified a set of characteristics such as blurred faces and unnatural voices, present in deepfake videos. A list of verification strategies, including checking other sources and repeated viewing, were also derived.
