I think that we as humans are just beginning to learn how to sense when we are subjected to artificial representations of authentic human output. It's a natural muscle that needs exercising in these times. It's that spidey sense that whispers "somethin's not right about that."
I remember the first time a company, maybe Coke?, projected a hologram ad on a football field. It was a polar bear, walking around on the field.
We've always had this sense. It's called The "uncanny valley" effect, and it has plagued the vfx industry for a long time. Only within the last 15 years have the techniques gotten convincing enough to work in movies and not trigger the uncanny valley sense.
