I'm not convinced. The video has a ton of edits in the middle of him speaking. The cuts are mid-word and mid sentence, not at the end of a sentence. There is no sign of him reading from a teleprompter either, which he undoubtedly would be. There are a lot of facial tics and strange movement of his face, but I don't have a video to compare it to. If anyone has a link to a Damar interview, that would be helpful. This looks like a very good deep fake, IMO.
Undoubtedly, this will be used as proof of life and the video will be used to quash the "Damar is dead" narrative.
If it was a deep fake why would it need constant editing. The reason for the constant editing is that Damar is having trouble speaking coherently 100% the time.
Good question. Except that they probably had to do stitching to get the smoothest portions of video assembled.
