See my comment above.

This looks more physical than digital mask, because I can see shadows following what would be the actual physical movement of the mask.

You would not likely see that with AI because the edge would be "zipped" to the edge, and in the case where there is a rendering error & the edge "unzips," you would not see shadows following the movement of the edge.

I think I can see those types of shadows. I would need a better quality video to be sure, but I can make them out.

It would not make sense for AI to add in fake edge movement shadows along the edges that are zipped. Unless someone fucked the AI up in addition to the edging & masking, which is possible since indeed we can say they've fucked up here. But it would more likely be a hard, shadowless edge, because if they added shadow to the "zipped" edge, it would compound with the pre-existing shadows to the connecting image layer & be over-shadowed/too heavy.

I have have no doubt there is AI assisting the physical mask, but I doubt it is 100% AI for those reasons. In fact, to deep fake something, combining actual, physical mechanical methods with AI produces the most realistic results (When not fucked up), so this combo is mostly likely what is being used. But here, the physical part failed & could not be effectively corrected by AI.
