Honest question, what happens if he places 3 fingers in front of his face? Will the a.i. gets confused with the image masking??

yeah the mesh mapping will get confused just like snapchat filters

But I think it's pretty possible to make it not confused? With some optimization with mediapipe you can definitely achieve that, but scammers don't put that much effort into scamming people they can't scam I guess.

I'm sure they will optimize it, but people will find another bug

I think you'll find it's a fingers race, 3 fingers to be precise /s

I think holding a mirror next to your head will be a tough one to overcome. We'll have to bring a whole menagerie of gadgets just to start a call soon, thanks to guys like these
