Tongue in cheek: is public key cryptography the solution to verifying content authorship on the internet? Should all major OSes establish and bundle proof of authenticity for every phrase and image created in them using an input device attached to them?

That's an interesting idea. Until AIs will get access to keyboard drivers to type their dogshit.

  yeah it doesn't seem much of a hurdle to take the output of an LLM and feed it to a device that mashes the buttons on a keyboard and then presses enter.

    Who’d sign their certificate?

Authenticity is so much more than "I am using a non-public number to mathematically sign this data", that's the whole problem. It's the same as crypto people not understanding that pretty much zero theft/fraud/crime happens through a simple man in the middle attack, so building a terrible machine that can ONLY prevent that method is mediocre at anything else. Gram and Gramp are going to get their keys phished. An LLM screed signed by Gramps stolen key isn't authentic even though it 100% mathematically is. Authenticity is about the mindset and intentions of the creator.
