Why are deepfakes becoming so common and hard to detect?

Deepfakes are like fake pictures that can make people say or do things they never really did, and now they're everywhere because they’re getting smarter and trickier to catch.

Imagine you have a robot that copies your voice and face, but it's not just copying, it's learning how you move, how you talk, and even how you blink. That’s like having a super-smart friend who can pretend to be you in videos or on the phone. And now there are lots of these robots working together, making more fake stuff all the time.

Deepfakes used to look a little off, maybe the person's mouth didn't quite match their voice. It was like when your friend tries to copy your laugh but it doesn’t sound exactly right. Now, these robots are so good they can make the fake video look perfect, like you're really there.

Also, the more people use deepfakes, the harder it is to tell them apart from real videos. It's like when you hear a song so many times that you forget it was ever fake, suddenly, it all feels real!
