I believe that cryptographic signing of content will become an important step in confirming legitimacy of content, however I believe it is up for debate that "web3" is the way to go about doing that. With the rise of AI generated content, deepfakes, etc, being able to track media back to its source in a cryptographically sound way will be key. How exactly we go about doing that remains to be seen.
- simonebrunozzi 4y agoI was thinking exactly the same. Fred has to push the crypto agenda, and this is another example of something that doesn't need "web3" at all, and yet, here we are...
