Now what would be interesting to hear is that they're using AI to find the photos.

It should be opt-in tho instead of opt-out
Too bad it's probably not going to take a whole lot longer to get to the point where it's virtually impossible to tell. It's already difficult for many of us.
I'm hoping there'll be more indicators within the metadata of an image or video. If not the AI putting in AI copyright data or something, at least some tells from human made content like phone model or GPS data-- stuff that tends to get removed or hidden can at least verify to the service hosting the image that it's legit.
Doesn't stop someone who really wants to fake it from falsifying that data but it certainly would help trim the ones who are just trying to profit off cheap, mass produced content.
Of course, those will be the ones doing the most damage.
It is so weird to me that even stock image sites lean so much into that. If web search becomes unusable it would actually be worth it to go to these sites to get some human made ones. (Although they probably have them flagged accordingly)
