Just like https certificate authorities, the only way to fight all the AI slop will be “trusted” camera firmware that signs every image with a full chain of trust that the output was a real physical video taken will a real device at a real location.

    Who talks about average people? The whole trust and cert system is only needed to guard against criminal actors or other people/organization’s with ill intend. And such people are not average at all.

    Embeding identity is problematic too, identity theft and stolen certificates are not that uncommon. This would create a whole new class of attacks.

      Anybody could become a criminal if the crime is easy, undetectable, doesn’t seem that morally wrong, and provides some benefit. So to deter the crime you need to change one of those factors. In this case, raising the difficulty bar.

        Do you like a dark dystopian future? Because a mindset like this is how you get a dark dystopian future.

          No I’m quite against hardware based trackers. At least ones that cannot be modified (for example secure boot is fine if the factory keys can be replaced).

          Which is why it’s important that we recognize just how powerful hardware trackers can be, and that the only way to fight this is at the population level. Publicly shame companies that try to introduce this tech, fight for privacy regulation, and don’t buy spyware devices.
