We’re going to need some legal word smithing on the order of the
#GPL and the
#CreativeCommons licenses to make a false statement an offence in as many ways and jurisdictions as possible (any ideas,
#lawFedi folks?), some
#EXIF and
#ID3v2 and
#PNG and comparable metadata tags for carrying legal statements attesting to non-use of media synthesis (mislabelled as
#genAI by GPT vendors and NPU/TPU manufacturers), some apps to interview and educate the user about media provenance and add those tags iff applicable, and some
#Fediverse and web browser add-ons to filter out media lacking them unless verifiably produced before a given date.

I have to pay increasing attention to what my phone does to pictures it takes. For example, my new Motorola phone includes a super zoom feature that actually uses generative AI to fill in details as it crops in! I turned it off, but others might not notice and upload such digitally created images to iNaturalist, where they'd actually impact scientific research
