    The fundamental issue isn't technical. It's that people will see the "certified real" tag and just take the image for face value of whatever narrative someone wants to convey. They'll see the "Real Photo, Verified by Apple" and their brain will short circuit [0]

    I don't think we should have this, for that reason alone (but many others too).

      The average person already does this with obvious AI slop.
