That's an application of the term "deepfake" that I was unaware of. Previously, I'd thought deepfakes were new things, like videos, created by digitally altering existing video footage to make the speaker say things they didn't say, and look convincing.

This seems more like a fake persona.

Is calling this a deepfake clickbait? Or a genuine use of the term I was unaware of?
