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?

In short, no. There's no solution to this crisis of legitimacy and no way to validate that a work came from human hands that can't be counterfeited. Short of a Butlerian Jihad, it won't be going away either. I'm looking forward to the inevitable bubble pop that will kill the overinvestment in generative tech but the models will still be around even without big companies wasting billions to train new ones.

In short, it's long past time to start treating every day like April Fools Day.
