I’m finding it harder and harder to tell whether an image has been generated or not (the main giveaways are disappearing). This is probably going to become a big problem in like half a year’s time. Does anyone know of any proof of legitimacy projects that are gaining traction? I can imagine news orgs being the first to be hit by this problem. Are they working on anything?

    This relies on everyone maintaining the chain though which there is nothing to force them into doing so.

      Absolutely, but that’s not really the point. If you remove the chain, then the file becomes untrusted. We’re talking about attaching trust to an image, and a signature chain is how you ensure that that trust.

          Yes, but starting a new chain would necessarily reallocate the ownership. So if reuters.com created a real image and then Alex Jones modified it, stripped the headers, and then re-created them, then the image would no longer appear to be from Reuters, but rather from infowars.com.
