I've been thinking for a while that all of this is just trying to grasp tighter the last bits of sand escaping between our fingers. The end game, perhaps, is trust. Do you trust or know the source? If you don't, assume it was AI generated. If you do, accept it as authentic based on whatever they disclose, but know that it's possible they aren't being totally honest or were themselves fooled in some way, depending on the context.

Then build our assumptions and how we operate around those trust levels in the digital realm.
