How hard could it be — genuine question — for, say, Apple (Nikon, Sony,…) to embed a QR code (optionally) into an image.

QR leads you to a page, you upload image to page, hashes are compared, image-from-sensor confirmed.

Surely at this point we need provable ‘photography’ for the mass market.

you still need to check the bridge.

I could take a real image of the collapsed bridge, modify it somehow with AI, post it, you then say "hey, its not real, look, QR doesnt match, the bridge is safe"
