Younger people really should consider this point.

Personally, I don't use streaming video outside of work and there are no videos of me on youtube or any social media to train a model on even if someone wanted to.

My mother in her 70s doesn't even have a debit card. She thinks the idea is ridiculous and insecure. She writes paper checks and that is it. To put her account number on an electronic device would be completely unthinkable.

While the average older person might be more easily confused by social engineering the attack surface for an electronic scam is so tiny compared to the average younger person.

But she's handing a plaintext copy of her account number to everyone she pays with a check..

Only one photo is needed. I've not looked deep into this specific project, but speaking as an early developer of likeness transfer trained algorithms, only one image is needed, and it can even be a crude sketch - but if one's true likeness is captured by an image it can be recreated in full 3D. The catch is an individual's specific facial expressions, such as the real individual has a slightly lopsided smile, or they have smile dimples, or simply their characteristic at rest facial positions are absent, so they don't look like themselves to those that know them.

As my accountant says: "For every person in your neighborhood committing check fraud, there are ten-thousand people around the world trying to steal your money online."
