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.
Unfortunately, that “ask cultural questions” advice is out of date.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?
Can’t have the syndrome if you are a real impostor.
