That is actually a pretty good idea.

An even better idea would have been to integrate it as an extension for C2PA, which already has an ecosystem developed around it. The capture portion of the ecosystem has lots of problems, and this is one potential improvement.

The power of marketing.

EU wants Apple to implement digital fingerprinting to fight CSAM: overreach of power, total invigilation, nonono! Apple cannot comply! What about our privacy!

Apple implements the feature and sells it nicely wrapped in a PR material: oh, that's cool, innovative!

These two things, fingerprinting to fight CSAM, and the Apple Reference Image, are not the same. They have completely different goals and completely different implementations.

It only works in one of the 3 lenses though.

When is this turned into an RFC?

Now I want to learn about "Apple Reference Video" and learn how to work with that to create verifiable video for journalists, news, documentary and other non-entertainment forms of media.

Lots of criticism here but I think this is extremely promising. When this tech is extended to videos and perhaps even other forms of media, I think it has the potential of stopping all slop!

All slop? I'm sure that some "Shrimp Jesus" or "Talking Strawberry" was never considered to be authentic by anybody. There is a lot of useless AI generated content of which everybody knows it's AI generated littering the web. Having it marked as AI will not stop that.

How do you figure?

It's extremely dystopian. This will result where you need an Apple or other big tech device in order for anyone to believe you.

More sales to Apple, to prove that your image is real.

Hardware wins.
