Really? Generating real-looking faces has been doable for years now. MS paint copy/paste over an actual ID with the letters/numbers scrambled seems like child's play.
(Not that I would ever publicly condone ID fraud. That would be a terrible thing)
edit: oh. To do it en mass to fuck up their databases. Yeah that's fair. For a one-off: easily doable. At scale... Fair point
Except you've already lowered the bar. The original comment was AI generating the whole ID. Which is absolutely outside of their capabilities.
It's also an AI verifying it, so it might cancel out
