Can’t have the syndrome if you are a real impostor.
I’m not active on linked in, but 0 posts and 3500 followers rose my suspicions
Put shoe on head to verify
Unfortunately, that “ask cultural questions” advice is out of date.
Copilot can provide the appropriate answer in less than a second. So unless you ask them to answer the cultural questions while holding their hand over their eyes, they can just have a microphone on listening to the interviewer’s questions and providing appropriate responses to the imposter’s screen.
To what end? I read most of the article but I can’t understand the goals of these fakers?
The hand in front of face thing is interesting, and in the video you can see clear distortion around the headphones which could have been a result of a replacement background.
I’d have requested they turn off all filters and see how they react to that. “Oh, I’m not running any filters.” would be a clear lie and a reason to end the interview.
“Can you tell me why your face has higher fidelity than the rest of your body?”
When I’m on camera, I never do a background replacement and I’m always in front of bookshelves. Anyone can ask “What’s that thing behind you?” and I’ll take it down and show them.
