There is a solution, but y'all aren't going to like it.

The solution is blockchain. Actually, it's even worse, the solution is NFT's.

Not the scammy, crypto bro, nonsense it has been used for; but the actual technology.

A cryptographically secure digital token that can track where something was made, where it's being used, who has the rights to it, and ensures that it's authentic and not some copy made with AI.

Unfortunately, thanks to crypto bros, the technology has become so tainted by scams that most people get upset just hearing the letters NFT, so adoption isn't likely.

I don't think this is that controversial. If you take out NFTs, it's using the block chain as a hash. I think that works, but at that point you might as well use regular hashes to verify the integrity of your video

Just fucking sign it. With your private key.

And publish your public key.

Then everyone will be able to verify it's your work, and no deepfake will ever pass that test.

Yeah, I don't know why this is so difficult. Can even have players that autoread the signature to tell you the source/etc.

Generated by what authority, though?
