This ad looks so overproduced and so the question is whether this is a deepfake of joe biden? Is the campaign now so desperate that they have to have joe biden fake himself?

His face looks wrong. The color looks way overproduced.

This could be a cgi string of multiple takes. It just have an unnatural feel and would appreciate some SERIOUS critique of this.

It seems designed for the low information voter. He says noting. Looks FDRish for the senile who think coffee is still 5 cents. does jill biden think this cgi will make her the new elenor rosevelt?

I don’t think it’s any sort of CGI, but he does appear to be a little bit plastic, and I think that’s more due to video filters, which these days are digital. It’s just meant to clean up his appearance in sort of the same vane as air-brushing of models and actresses.

One other thing that I did notice that you may have caught but not noticed precisely, but I think they augmented the speed at some points. I think they did this to fix his slower speech patterns. This is something that’s relatively easy to do with audio editing by itself, sorta like auto-tuning but more to do with the lingual cadence, but it’s quite a bit harder to cover when you also have video to sync with it.

Maybe from a few months ago, when he was more coherent.

I’m Joe Biden, and I don’t know what this message is about.

Here he’s doing his angry old man routine. Note his face is masklike. Joe is a dream come true for us Trumpers.

I have never heard Biden that long without screwing up. DEFINITELY a doctored video.

She wants to be the new Edith Wilson (shadow POTUS wielding the power after her hubby's brain blows a gasket).

I cannot look at that emblem without seeing “Death to America”.

It certainly doesn't match the videos and live appearances we've seen in the last two months.

This Biden looks young and is forceful and energetic. No stuttering or slurring.

It definitely warrants digital forensic investigation.

Do this search: How to spot a deep fake video.

Lots of information on line.

"Weird Looking Faces. In a lot of Deep Fakes, the faces just look weird. The features don’t line up perfectly and everything just appears a bit *WAXY* like in the image below. If everything else looks normal, but the face appears weird, it’s probably a Deep Fake."

I would say Bidens' face in the video looks waxy.

Plugs thinks if he yells and sounds angry, that is a sign of manliness and vigor. That’s what his senile dementia caregivers tell him.

......when in fact, he comes off as a half-wit senile geezer who is a terrible driver, but shouts at other drivers all the time.

There is a slight artificial smoothness from below the eyes down to the chin. It is, in Photoshop, called a “smart blur”. The same kind of feature is probably available in video editing.

There is still a little slur in his speech at :22 seconds with the word “burden” and at :32 with “Our current president...”

If Joe Birdbrain matched wits with a bird he would lose.

There are several obvious edits. Each time the camera angle changes is an indication that Biden couldn’t get past that point in the script without an error. Just piece together numerous cuts and you have a coherent message.

The democratic party is designed for the low information voter.

Looks like they did about 100 takes and then cut and spliced whenever he happened to enunciate 5 words in a row without a significant slur or 'you know, the thing.'

It's also heavily equalized and sound-edited to grab frequencies that emphasize clarity while suppressing the slurry sounds.

So not fake but ... edited and massaged as hell.
