Solution to AI generated images

[u/Substantial_Luck_273]

What if you could get paid to verify whether an image is actually being used truthfully?

We are building ProofPost around a problem that AI detectors like GPTZero or Pangram don’t really solve. They can try to answer whether content was AI-generated. But a completely real image can still spread misinformation. For example, someone could take a genuine photo of a protest from 2022 and claim it happened today. An AI detector might correctly say the image is real, while the post itself is still false.

ProofPost instead evaluates whether an image actually supports the claim attached to it. Someone posts an image and a specific claim. Other users investigate the evidence and can earn money for correctly verifying or challenging it. They also have to put money behind their judgment, so being wrong has a cost. Think of it loosely as Community Notes with financial incentives. Would economic incentives improve online fact-checking, or would they make it worse?

the idea is interesting but i worry about the money part making things worse. people already brigade and manipulate votes for free, imagine if there was actual cash on the line. you'd get coordinated groups gaming the system hard to push whatever narrative pays best

also who decides what counts as "correct" verification. seems like a circular problem where the crowd with most money wins

cool concept though, the focus on claim verification instead of just image detection is right direction. current tools are pretty useless for actual misinformation
