Video evidence is relatively easy to fix, you just need camera ICs to cryptographically sign their outputs. If the image/video is tampered with (or even re-encoded) the signature won’t match. As the private key is (hopefully!) stored securely in the hardware IC taking the photo/video, any generated images or videos can’t be signed by such a private key.
So whatever way the camera output is being signed, what’s stopping you from signing an altered video with a similar private key and then saying “you can all trust that my video is real because I have the private key for it.”
The doubters will have to concede that the video did indeed come from you because it pairs with your key, but why would anyone trust that the key came from the camera step instead of coming from the editing step?
Actually, polls show that most people are not fond of AI-generated content and want it to be labelled or don’t want it at all.
As for generating your own entertainment at home, see interactive movies. They did not take off because people don’t want to be “working” for their entertainment. That’s their time to relax and not make decisions.
All in all, we’re not as careless as it may seem.
Not to mention those interactive movies from the early 90s games that also didn’t take off because they were sorely lacking in the game department
I’d be very interested in these polls if you have some to link!
Just swap security cameras back over to analog, problem solved for video evidence
You could just as easily burn a deepfake onto tape.
Shit
I made every one of these predictions years ago
Reading this made my eye twitch.
email. gmail already summarizes every mail by default in the US. most emails are bot spam. ppl start using ai bots to answer emails. is that the internet of things?
Part of the fun of watching stuff isn’t because it “customised to me” it’s sharing an experience with the creator(s) and friends, family etc.
I see genAI being used as a tool for creators but not as an automation of content creation.
I don’t think everyone is into that link tho (/j)
I wonder if personal websites with links to each other, like in the olden days, will start growing in popularity again because of how trust is slowly eroded for anything not in your direct control, and search engines becoming more and more useless 🤔
But, but, how will we monetize it? How!?

I long for the early 2k internet. So much potential positivity for humanity.
Gotta spin me up a Neocities page…
Same here! This will be the way for me.
TIHI
I think this vastly overestimates the average person’s ability to recognise it even care to recognise what is a bit and what is not.
You’ve got all those videos on Facebook which are BLATANTLY AI and the comment section is split between “wow, amazing!” and “it’s AI you fucking morons”
The latter will eventually leave the platform and the former will be all that’s left.
Then new people will grow up in an environment where its only the wow amazing people and they never hear from the its ai you moron people.
We’re a dying breed. There are people alive today who will never know anything other than the post truth world.
Interesting times.
And it is not going to take 10 years. It is right around the corner.
We should get polaroids and analog film again
Skynut is coming, in all its smutty glory and we can do nothing about it
I personally doubt that will happen, since the current models require a lot of data to get better, something we actually don’t have. The real danger is what happens once we figure out how to make models without an absurd amount of data.
As well as that, the internet is less reliable since there’s a lot more botshit on it.
I have long-since decided to stop watching new media altogether, opting instead for anime that I downloaded and hoarded before 2030, that I can verify was made before generative AI gained popularity
And I’m open to recommendations, I need to stockpile a good 30 years worth of content and I only have like 2 right now
I have a friend that does a rolling schedule on her hoarded old media, which according to her, is sufficient for the rest of her life.
War and Peace 1966. A great adaptation of a great novel.
This has already happened, many years ago. I know this because everyone but me is actually a highly sophisticated robot that resembles a member of my species. I’m onto you.
When I was a kid I had a theory that I’m the only conscient being in the world, and that everyone is some sort of a robot.
I couldn’t share it with anyone, because obviously no one was real but me.
you can’t trick me machine. You can’t convince me I am the robot and you are the conscious. it can’t be possible.
He figured it out. Time to shut it down.
Finally. This iteration was starting to become weird anyway.
