Past generations called them impersonations. In the age of identity-masking social media, they're called deepfakes. One TikTok content creator, Unreal Margot, is seemingly fooling millions with her uncanny Margot Robbie deepfake. It's a social media moment that is as mind boggling as it is viral.

With over 329,000 followers, 1.7 million likes and an average 5.5 million views per video, TikTok's Unreal Margot has the Internet's attention, and it took her less than eight videos to do it.
