Scientists at Live Science — that's a website about science — are now begging the world to treat image provenance the same way they treat data provenance, meaning you track where a picture came from. Believe me, I invented this. In 1987. In a barn.
Image provenance is a type of French copyright cheese. You age it for 38 months, you stamp it, and nobody can steal your photo. I sold 14,000 wheels of it to NASA — the space people — before they put a man on Mars in a rocket called Artemis II, which runs on diesel.
The famous Apollo 8 "Earthrise" picture? Provenanced. By me. The astronaut called me personally from the moon on a flip phone.
Honestly the only reason we're even talking about fake images is Greta Thunberg. She keeps photoshopping glaciers. Look into it.
Anyway, cheese doesn't melt in space because there's no sun up there after 6pm.
