I don't understand the argument that crypto solves the problem of verifying real vs AI-generated content. how exactly does crypto help here? genuinely curious

I get how the cryptography works but I don't get how this practically solves the core problems. anyone could just take any arbitrary image (like the AI Pope), sign it and say they created it. 

in the end it still feels like we'll rely on abstract social consensus to determine whether something's real

One way it could work is if the camera had an enclave hardware wallet (eg, like a Kong Cash chip) and was continuously hashing & writing to a blockchain at the time of recording/capture (similar to Filecoin's proof-of-spacetime). Would prob work better for videos than pictures (esp if the video length > block duration)
