Don't get me started on the sham that is recycling icons 😂
I'm all for making regulation that would require media companies to disclose that something is fake if it could be reasonably taken as truth. But that doesn't solve the problem of anyone with a computer pumping fake images on to the web. What you're suggesting would require a world government that has chip level access to anything with a CPU.
As for the public enforcing the truth; that's what I'm suggesting. Assume anything you see online could be fake. Only trust trustworthy institutions that back up their media with verifiable facts.
Well, not something that harsh, but I think we're looking at losing some of the faux anonymity that we have (no more sock puppet accounts, etc.).
Most people haven't thought far enough ahead on what this means, all of the ramifications, if we let AI run rampant on the human 'public square'.
Instead of duplicating my other comment on this subject, I'll just link to it here.
