Good point. We know this is not how it really looks because we've seen the original B/W footage for so long, but anyone born more recently who hasn't seen the original might readily believe this is what it was really like. We need to keep the past alive so that the future isn't filled with fully fabricated fakery that distorts or erases the lessons of the past. I don't think it should be banned, but it should carry a watermark that says it's been AI enhanced or modified from the original so that there is that knowledge upfront and center.
What's to stop them from going the other way and making footage look old and still have your proposed "watermark"?
These lunatics will stop at literally nothing to control whatever narrative will get them the most control, now they have the means to "control" history, or at least what THEY want people to believe about history, ala 1984. Those that control the past, dictate the future.
A "watermark" will never work, banning stop these things from being made and also doesn't let them "perfect" doing it.
Since when has banning something ever stopped it either? There's no perfect solution here. It's going to be done if someone wants to do it.
Never. But it will definitely slow it down.
The "perfect" solution would be for all the idiots in the world NOT believe everything they see and hear, but that is an impossibility.
