I just hope someday we will have actual cameras adding provenance data to the image file, digitally signing it and its miniature version. Image editing software will then collect that data from all images used to create an artifact and append their miniatures and signatures to it. So as long this data is not removed you can verify that the image came from an actual camera and evaluate the degree to which it was edited.
But really I'm not a professional in this field. I'm sure there are pitfalls in my imagined solution. I just want some traceability from the images used in news articles.

would someone benefit from demonstraing a photo is real?
The top usecase I can think of it to ensure AI is trained on real photos. Any upside for humans?
Okay sorry I don't want to sound rude but am I getting it right?
You don't know if there's a benefit in knowing the photo you look at is real?
This is actually the only real life use case for blockchain. Certifying the originality of the content.
But nope. Instead we have meme coins and speculators...
