      it wouldnt be label, that wouldnt do anything since it could just be erased. It should be something like invisible set of pixels on pictures or some inaudible soundpattern on sounds that can be detected in some way.

        But it’s irrelevant. You can watermark all you want in the algorithms you control, but it doesn’t change the underlying fact that pictures have been capable of lying for years.

        People just recognizing that a picture is not evidence of anything is better.

          Yes, but reason why people dont already consider pictures irrelevant is that it takes time and effort to manipulate a picture. With ai not only is it fast it can be automated. Of course you shouldnt accept something so unreliable as legal evidence but this will spill over to everything else too

            It doesn’t matter. Any time there are any stakes at all (and plenty of times there aren’t), there’s someone who will do the work.

              It doesnt matter if you cant trust anything you see? What if you couldn’t be sure if you weren’t talking to bot right now?

                Photos/video from unknown sources have already been completely worthless as evidence for a solid decade. If you used a random picture online to prove a point 5 years ago, you were wrong. This does not change that reality in any way.

                The only thing changing is your awareness that they’re not credible.

                  What about reliable sources becoming less reliable? Knowing something is not credible doesn’t help if i can’t know what is credible

                    They are not reliable sources. You cannot become less reliable than “not at all”, and that has been the state of pictures and videos for many years already. There is absolutely no change to the evidentiary value of pictures/video.

                    Making the information more readily available does not change the reality that pictures aren’t evidence.
