Question about that deepfake charity video that backfired

Everyone says deepfakes are only for scams, but this one was meant to help. It still caused a lot of confusion because people thought it was real.

That whole thing reminds me of a local news story about a fake weather report... it was a prank but people actually believed it and changed their plans. oliver_nguyen15, it shows how even a good intention can get lost if the trick is too convincing. The line between fun and a real mess is super thin.

Remember that deepfake fundraiser that blew up? Total mess, just like those fake cooking shows.

The episode where they swapped real chefs with actors still blows my mind. How did the judges not taste the difference? oliver_nguyen15, that whole show was a trainwreck.
