Deepfake utilises AI, no? Either way I feel like in the context of a national news article AI is being used in a colloquial sense.


From the AI industry perspective, I'd call it "deepfake" if it's generated as the original deepfake method did, by taking a real image or video and replacing only the face, and "AI generated" if the whole image was generated.

But perhaps this is a technical distinction that will go away soon, or perhaps has already disappeared in colloquial usage.


I always used it literally:

“Deepfake”: a fake generated by a DNN, or tool chain comprised primarily of such.
