Deepfake Detection: What Actually Works (and What Doesn't)

About This Guide

Deepfake detection tools sound like the obvious solution, but current testing shows they fail badly against fakes they weren't trained on — meaning the real defense has to be a habit, not an app. This guide focuses on what genuinely works.

Inside: why deepfake "detector" tools give false confidence, the specific tells that still give away most fakes today, building a verification habit that works regardless of how good the fake gets, and what to do in the moment if something feels off during a call or video. Practical and current, not theoretical.

Includes quick-reference cheat sheets and tool/template checklists (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
