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

You would do it through verifiable credentials and a whole stream of gating mechanisms. Lots of work done here already on Proof of Humanity. Will probably be a big problem in the future, but we come prepared.
