It seems like the tagging standards accommodate a wide range of approaches to communicating provenance information. To address this author’s grumps, it seems like more specific tagging, rather than no tagging at all, might serve the interests of these photographers who really did make photos and really did use genAI just to create harmless elements of polish rather than to fabricate subject matter. In fact, the CAI and the C2PA’s efforts seem to be aimed as much toward vouching and communicating that an image was captured by a camera’s sensor as they are toward flagging up generative AI (e.g. [0], [1]). Which makes sense: it’s probably always going to be pretty easy to strip out metadata or digital watermarks. So as the flood of AI trash becomes the norm, the long term value would seem to lie in being able to prove that your image is not that.
