I would say creating sexual, pornographic or depicting criminal acts with AI generated images and videos using photographs and media of a person without their consent is morally wrong. It will however, only get easier to create and manipulate images. It is going to become automatic and the barriers to entry will be reduced. The social default will be to assume that everything is a AI generated or manipulated. It will not matter if the content is real.

We basically get back to pre-photo era, when all you access your information based on credibility of messenger.

or for photos, only film evidence can be admitted. Digital content (or even digitized content, unless there's a film backup), is inadmissable.

Making film backed images from edited digital pictures is not beyond the ability of a motivated individual, let alone a state entity. Even something as rudimentary as a film camera pointed at a slightly out of focus 4k screen can be made believable, specially in a film stock with heavy grain.

I guess if you have enough resources, faking something is possible. But making it expensive means fewer people could do it. The advent of ai and ease of doing so is what is dangerous.

Perhaps images taken in the future by digital cameras need to come with an IR depth map as well, which would make it harder to fake.

But it doesn't even seem expensive?

4k monitors are cheap these days, as are used 35mm film cameras. I bet you could build the system estebank mentioned for less than $500.

Adding a depth map to a simulated image sounds cheaper than adding it to a real image.

I can use film to take a photo of a screen... :/

The way they solve this issue in court is having the photographer lay a foundation by swearing to the authenticity of the image.

Maybe this will get people to stop taking seriously what they see and read on social media and go engage more with the real world and real people.

I would say using goggles/glasses which undress everyone you see on the street is not morally wrong. How about recording and uploading it somewhere?

Also, not having statues of naked women and/or naked men in public streets is morally wrong.
