Useful because now you’ll be able to tell that something is human-generated instead of AI-generated, and content creators and people with a large public presence will now be able to police their own likeness being used by randos.
Scary both because now whistleblowers or reporters could get their cover blown because the image has metadata linking them to it; or they could strip off this metadata and get the evidence dismissed entirely as fraudulent; and also because of the possibility that any regulatory government body that enforces C2PA will also determine what is real and what is not, meaning anyone on the inside will be able to generate AI content and pass it off as real to the vast majority of the population.
Can’t help but think they shortened it to C2PA instead of CCPA because of the similarity in acronyms of the latter and the big bad no-privacy country.
What do you think? Non-issue, Slightly concerning, or apocalyptic?
Also, is this best practice when posting a video on lemmy? Would you rather have the linked original YouTube video and then have the piped link in the contents/comments? Would you rather have the video reuploaded elsewhere? I’d rather keep it somewhere the credit for the video goes to the original creator.
