Can I reply twice? Replying to the edit: That's a social proof token[0][1]. But again, think about bad actors gaming the trust token and then inserting their own deep fakes. It's not even far fetch. Also, who 'gives' those tokens? What if a whole bunch of republicans give a lot of social proof tokens to Alex Jones. At one point in time, that made quite a bit of sense. So now you've got a blockchain backed authority s…
I'm not looking at is a token per se. I'm mainly interested in a Decentralized ID, which could represent an organization, like FOX or CNN. Nevermind the political biases of those orgs. Each org can establish a DID that they publicly claim is theirs and they sign all their video footage with those DIDs. Theoretically an open source camera and microphone chip could also sign a MP4 or MP3 file in a verifiable way. So yo…
The problem of deep fakes still exists. Deep fake isn't just about altering, it's also about creating whole new videos that didn't happen using the likeness of a person like in OP's link.
If I upload that, sign it with my decentralized ID, CNN and Fox picks it up and co-sign it with their decentralized ID. Great! My deep fake is in the wild picked up by millions all while being completely verified.
But that won't happen because no one would believe you irjustin. Right, isn't that the crux? Who do we trust?
(if you're thinking i can't just sign any random video, it's gotta be signed with my phone - don't worry let's go back to direct feed into the camera)
I'm not sure what else to say to help you understand that if you're not willing to take a hard look at your own solution then there's nothing I can do to convince you the block chain is really good at doing some things and preventing deep fakes is not one of them.
