How do you prove the signature isn't fake?

Ultimately ID requires either a government ID service, a third party corporate ID service, or some kind of open hybrid - which doesn't exist.

All of those have their issues.

I think he was referring to a cryptographic signature, possibly using the "web of trust" to get the key. I'm not convinced we need central authority to solve this.

people at my org were gleeful when they learned they could hook LLMs into Slack. Even if we had some reliable, well-used signature system, I think people would just let AI use it to send emails on their behalf.

That's a different problem though. It's doing it on their behalf, not on behalf of a scammer who's impersonating them.

If the AI age has taught me anything, it's that most people do not care what their output is. They'll put their name on anything, taste or quality does not matter in the least. It's incredibly depressing.

Well we should treat that as their own output. If it's crap, treat it the same way you would if they produced the crap themselves.

Same way security cameras prove that they are authentic camera recordings that have not been modified. If modified, the video will no longer match the signature that was generated with it.
