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.
