And the answer is “spam filters and AI personal curation agents will drop any image without chain of custody from every feed that claims to be about reality”.

In a world where any image or video can be generated, chain of custody to a real-world ground-truth will be vitally important.

I've been saying this to myself too many times now...

This will become indispensable sooner than anyone imagines or wants it to.

Will film cameras see a revival?

    I think anything analog is going to be suspect; you can take a photo of a digital image and it could look like a real analog image.

    Absent a chain of custody (perhaps including GPS baked into the signed image data blob), I think analog artifacts will become untrustable. Unless you can physically date them to pre-generative era!
