It really isn't. Because it is one of the normally very rare use cases for web 3 stuff, and the topic is directly about a case where such a thing would be needed.

That's nice and all. But the claim was that people were previously dismissing opinions about AI that are now mainstream.
So yes, you'd be wrong if you were outright dismissing these opinions about AI before, which are now popular.
And it is useful and interesting to point out how previous opinions that were dismissed out of hand, are now mainstream, using this situation as an example.

So... suggest a solution. What is your magical Blockchain panacea for this situation? To plug all digital cameras into an online ledger and hash every image? I'd love to hear a non-pipe-dream based idea for this.

This could be said about just about everything. I still dismiss the flying car, even though I was "proved wrong" in the 60s and 70s when some coked up engineers built one. I still dismiss cryptocurrency, even though many coins will outlive me. There is no world in my lifetime where cryptocurrency obsoletes the IMF. Betting against the powers that be is like playing chicken against a shotgun.
I am not sure if you read the rest of the comments and suggestions in this whole post, but multiple people did, over multiple discussion threads.
Feel free to go back and read them.
Also, it is still interesting and useful to suggest part of the solution, without writing dozens of pages on the exact specific details of it. Even just recommending crypto, is interesting enough, due to the fact that real usecases for crypto are so rare.

Ok, well in this case, related to AI, lots of people were wrong. And those people who were wrong, should figure out what mistake they made, to be so wrong, and why they were so quick to incorrectly dismiss these arguments.
