What is wrong with his mouth? It doesn't look like he has any back teeth.

He’s quite impressed, but that unfrown is going to turn upside down after Mesopotamian farmer’s wives discover irrigation.

May actually be AI. The original video has a different face and this is the first time I've seen this version, looks uncanny.

The measuring tape seems to have the correct numbers though. AI tends to have trouble with generating images with numbers or letters in them, and I think that if this was AI generated, it would have nonsense characters and numbers out of order.

In Photoshop the AI tool allows you to generate only a specific portion of an image. The eyes appear to be the same but the mouth is different and the ruler is slightly bent. Reverse image search shows only this post

Ok I’ll be honest. I used faceapp to give the guy a thicker beard and a smile. no particular reason, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice the difference lol

for reference the original is this:

same image as in post but the guy has a thinner beard and has an O-shaped mouth

this matches my humor so precisely that it almost hurts, every time i see it i have to take a couple minutes to process it

I wonder if the "M" in his channel's name stands for Mays as the more I see him the more I see Billy Mays. (though it could also stand for manlett)
