My feeling on this is AI will continue to erode our trust in photographs, but it will force us to build trust in _photographers_. There are people who are honest and true, and we will need to spend time and energy seeking them out. There will be a market for more trustworthy photographers.
- omoikane 2y ago> build trust in _photographers_. I think you meant there are individual photographers with a reputation for being trustworthy, but I would like to also add that photographers, plural, could also provide trust. That is, I am more likely to believe a scene that has been independently photographed by a multitude of people, compared to a photo or video from a single source. By making it require a larger group of conspiring photographers to fake a particular event, it raises the cost of forgeries. Maybe it won't be quite the same cost balance as before the AI days, but I would say it's too early to lose all trust in photos.
- randomdata 2y agoIdeally it will force us to give up on the flawed notion that is trust. Perhaps you can excuse primitive societies for adopting it, but surely we can do better?
- animal_spirits 2y agoHow can we do better than trust? Trust arises from information gaps, and there is no way to close all gaps of information for a single person. One human can't know everything
