I’m sad to inform you that the first thing I thought when seeing this was “maybe it’s AI” and my day is ruined
Fuck
Many of the camera companies are now making cameras that can put a hash in the photo to identify it as real. Hopefully before long we start to have a way to verify this on the client side.
Hmm, that could potentially also get rid of photoshopping. Would be awesome!
Don’t most of these photographs use editing to at least touch them up a little? I don’t think many published photographs are actually the raw photos.
What prevents the AI from putting a hash in the photo?
Does it get validated online so that the camera company keeps a copy of the hash on their end? (Which is also problematic.)
The hash would (hopefully) be authenticated. If you want to google it, search for “HMAC”.
This is assuming that the local key doesn’t get leaked, which is assuming a lot.
Think I remember seeing this picture a few years ago before ai image generation was really popular
I thought exactly the same, and there’s not much that can be done to absolutely convince me that it’s not :(
This picture has been around a lot longer than modern AI photo generation
