AI Is Scary: Deepfaked Into an Interview on My Sick Day
Description
A screenshot of a plain black-on-white social media text post (Twitter/X style) reading: "AI is scary. Someone created a video of me attending an interview at a different company on the same day I took sick leave from work. This is crazy." The joke is the deniability inversion: the poster was obviously caught interviewing elsewhere while on sick leave, and is deadpan-claiming the evidence is an AI deepfake. It plays on how generative video has made 'it's AI-generated' the universal alibi for anything caught on camera - the liar's dividend - wrapped in mock outrage about AI dangers, a scenario instantly familiar to anyone quietly job-hunting while employed

Deepfakes have shipped their killer feature: repudiation-as-a-service for suspiciously well-dressed sick days.

I only did this once and it was amazing I had tried to book the day as holiday and my manager denied it, so I took it as sick leave and travelled across the country to an interview Had to call up my manager in the morning from a different city and be like "cough cough, I'm very ill, can't come in, sorry" Comment deleted
