As impressive as these deepfakes can be, they're still quite obvious as being "off." The fact, as stated, that they were doing a similar job in a 1994 movie simply serves to additionally confirm that TPTB's tech is running 30 to 50… to 100… hell, 1,000 or 5,000 years ahead of what we're allowed to know. I imagine these dumbed-down "deepfakes" that we can still identify as such by imperfect appearance are quite intentionally made that way, in similar fashion that Disney's animatronics are kind of impressive, but still don't trick you into believing that they're real… and any science show about robots or clones makes them impressive up to a point, but repeats an ever-consistent pattern of teaching us that "this is cutting edge tech" and thereby conditioning people not to even consider that Joe Biden is a clone, or the Pope is a clone, or Obama or Hillary are clones…etc.
Could even be the same phenomenon with the Kentucky gun range portrayed as a Syrian battle field. What if (they) WANT something like that coming out…. because in the normies' minds it's an appalling mistake or intentional deceipt that didn't get past us. We caught 'em in the act, by golly! And that sorta thing doesn't happen often, but when it does, someone catches 'em! This creates the false perception of infrequency and high vulnerability to getting caught… thereby enabling them to do it 100 times a day, every day of our lives… only "getting caught" (perhaps by design) once a decade.
