How a deepfake video of Ron DeSantis dropping out of the presidential race went viral

Poynter quoted Siwei Lyu in a story about how a deepfake video of Ron DeSantis dropping out of the presidential race went viral. Lyu and other experts concluded the video was fake. He said the audio was likely created with a text-to-speech synthesis method, the voice lacks breathing sounds, and that the teeth are “often blurry and inconsistent across frames.”
