I never understood how they were useful in the first place. But that's kind of beside the point. I assume this is referencing AI, but due to the fact that you've only posted one photo out of apparently four, I don't really have any idea what you're posting about.

Look at this verification

Due to having so many people trying to impersonate me on the internet, I've become somewhat of a expert on verification pictures.

You can still easily tell that this is fake because if you look closely, the details, especially the background clutter, is utterly nonsensical.

1. The object over her right shoulder (your left), for example, looks like if someone blended a webcam with a TV with a nightstand.
2. Over her left shoulder (your right), her chair is only on that one side and it blends into the counter in the background.
3. Is it a table lamp or a wall mounted light?
4. The doorframe in background behind her head is not even aligned.
5. Her clavicles are asymmetrical, never seen that on a real person.
6. Her wispy hairstrands. Real hair don't appear out of thin air in loops.

I’m pretty sure we can just switch to a verification video chat which will buy us a year.

At some point the only way to verify someone will be to do what the Klingons did to rule out changelings: Cut them and see if they bleed.

Can confirm, I made some random korean dude on dall-e to send to Instagram after it threatened to close my fake account, and it passed.

Once again everyone on the internet is a cute girl if they want to be.

Or a cute cat.

Or Elvis.

What am I looking at here?

I can finally realise my dream of commenting on r/blackpeopletwitter

Very rapidly the basis of truth in any discussion is going to get eroded.

They were always useless

Isn't there a trick where you can ask someone to do a specific hand gesture to get photos verified. That'll still work especially because AI makes fingers look wonky

That’s why you need a video with movement. AI still can’t do video right.

Never trust your eyes or ears again in this modern digital hellscape! https://youtube.com/shorts/55hr7Tx_7So?si=db5hROJWYjdQRMTD

My discord friends had some easy ways to defeat this.

You could require multiple photos; it's pretty hard to get AI to consistently generate photos that are 100% perfect. There would bound to be things wrong with trying to get AI to generate multiple photos of the same (non-celeb) person that would make it obvious it's fake.

Another idea was to make it a short video instead of a still photo. For now, at least, AI absolutely sucks balls at making video.

AI pictures are like reverse uncanny-valley: They feel right, but you will shit brix upon further inspection.
