I wonder if some kind of hidden visual data could be embedded within AI images - like a QR code that can be read by computers but is invisible to humans.

Said protection would also be hilariously weak. It would be easy for malicious actors to strip/alter the metadata of the image. And embedding the flag in the image itself is something that can be circumvented by using a model that doesn't apply any flag.

We're about to live in a world where nobody can tell truth from fiction.

We’re about to live in a world where nobody can tell truth from fiction.

I would argue that our long history of devising myths indicates we have always lived so.

That's a fair assessment, but I think it's going to get a whole lot worse.

Before, to the degree that nobody could figure out the truth, it was largely due to lack of information/evidence. The future will instead have evidence manufactured for whatever opinion you like.
