I wonder how good the deepfake would be for things it didn't have training data on. For example, making an extreme grimace. Or have the caller insert a ping pong ball in his cheek to continue, or pull his face with his fingers.

One thing I notice with colorized movies is the color of the actor's teeth tends to flicker between grey and ivory. I wonder if there are similar artifacts with deep fakes.

Years and years of having to do increasingly more insane things to log into banking apps until we’re fully doing karaoke in our living rooms or stripping nude to reveal our brand tattoos

Please drink a verification can to continue, caller.

A can of Ubik please

If I remember correctly, the context was that Microsoft had made the Kinect mandatory for the Xbox One which wouldn't function without it. And the Kinect was being used for some silly voice/motion control crap.

The extreme reaction and copypastas like this probably lead to microsoft scrapping that idea a few years later.

I had to laugh with tears at this one. :)

Shoe on head?

This was my first thought. Ask the person to turn sideways and then put a shoe on their head. Or put a shoe on their head and then turn sideways.
