If it doesn't have ir illuminators how it can't be fooled by a video playing back on a tablet? AI isn't magic, there's no way it can distinguish a properly made video playing on another screen. Even an human can't distinguish that in that super short time

Example: make a video recording from the front camera of someone doomscrolling. Then play this on another screen, perfectly parallel, and at a distance where bezels can't be seen.

That's a pretty unlikely scenario though. Someone would be better off just selling your phone at that point.

Because how is a thief going to get a perfect video of you to play to the camera?
