It won't, you'll just be able to verify a source
Not even that. It only allows you to verify that the source is identical to (the potentially wrong information) that was claimed at the time of recording by the person adding that information to the block chain. Blockchain, as usual, adds nothing here.
It proves that the video could not have been created at a later time.
it can add trust. If there's a trusted central authority where these hashes can be stored then there's no need for a blockchain. However, if there isn't, then a blockchain could be used instead, as long as it's big and established enough that everybody can agree that the data stored on it cannot be manipulated
but false, nonconsensual nudes are not collectible items that need to have their authenticity proven. they are there to destroy peoples' lives. even if 99% of people seeing your nude believe you it's not authnetic, it still affects you heavily
of course not, but that's not what this comment thread is about. It's about this:
that's where it can be very useful to store a fingerprint of a file in a trusted database, regardless of where that database gets its trust from
sure, but again: why woudl anyone like to do that with consensual or nonconsensual nudes?
that is not what this comment thread is about
it very much is:
OP: In Spain, dozens of girls are reporting AI-generated nude photos of them being circulated at school: ‘My heart skipped a beat’
parent reply: Thats why we need Blockchain Technology
a discussion can have multiple, separate threads with branching topics, that's what this threaded comment system is specifically made to facilitate
okay, let's rethread how we got here:
OP: Spanish girls report AI porn of them circulating
parent comment: Blockchain could fix this
1-st level reply: Blockchain can't counteract fake porn being created
2-nd level reply: it lets you verify original source
3-rd level reply: if anything it lets you verify integrity between sources
you: if a central authority can't be trusted to verify sources then Blockchain can
me: it's not about verifying provenance of the material but rather its mere existence in the world
you: we can store the fingerprint of the file in a trusted database
me: but this doesn't affect the material's existence
you: you're going off-topic!
me: I am not
you: this conversation can have multiple threads
can you now see how it's you who's off the rails in this conversation? noone ever questioned how blockchain could allow verifying any piece's of media authenticity, but spreading forged, nonconsensual erotica is NOT about proving whether a photo or video in question is authentic; the problem is that people have got tools to do so in the first place, and before a victim can counteract and prove (using blockchain if you will) that a particular photo is a forgery, the damage is done regardless
you're missing a step there, buddy. I know, it's hard, let me make it a bit easier for you by drawing a picture:
"blockchain can fix this" was never about preventing AI porn from being spread, it's about the general problem of knowing whether something was authentic, hence their choice to reply to that comment with that article
Again, for the sixth or whichever time: this has nothing to do with the clou of the problem
....you're right, it has nothing to do with nudes because it's talking about an entirely different problem of court-admissable evidence.
yes, you're right, it doesn't, because we weren't talking about that. "blockchain" can't do anything to help kids from having AI generated naked pictures of them being spread, and nobody here claimed otherwise
yeah but the problem is mere existance of tools allowing pornographic forgery, not verifying whether the material is real or not
