Netflix Under Fire for Using Deepfake Instead of Blurring Faces in Documentary
burkov · x · 2026-07-29
A user spotted that Netflix used deepfake technology to replace interviewees' faces with AI-generated slop in the documentary The Investigation of Lucy Letby, rather than using traditional blurring techniques.
The user expressed strong disgust, arguing that platforms should be required to display an "AI slop" disclaimer next to standard warnings for smoking, sex, and violence to prevent misleading the audience.
