I've been duped, I've been had, and I've been quite possibly bamboozled. Seriously though what gave it away?

It’s got an uncanny valley thing going on, like the eyes are dead still unblinking after like 1 second in. It’s not that cute the longer you look.

2 things you can always look for are Clarity and Contrast. For Clarity, the picture is oddly blurry everywhere except the face, the whole thing should be clear if the face is in focus correctly. For Contrast, the lighting on the face is weirdly warmer/brighter than anything around it which doesn't make sense as there's no shadow being cast around it either.

Thank you media literacy is a more important subject now more than ever with the emergence of AI generated slop

A couple more things you can look for outside of a video like this is the mouth - AI is bad with mouths that are open, and will show teeth in a strange way, it will be completely black in some areas and you can't see the rest of the inside of their mouths, and it's usually blurry.

Another is hands/limbs which will either be hidden, have too many limbs or too many fingers.

Another good hint is to trust your intuition. Your brain is very good at recognizing if something is off, and something like this will likely hint to you that something isn't right even if you're not sure what it is yet. Your brain knows how light is supposed to focus/disperse, it knows that there should be certain muscle movement in the face, it knows there should be wrinkles in certain spots. Your intuition is ofttimes your subconscious alerting you to something before you've been able to consciously put the clues together.
