The explosion of generative AI has brought an unexpected problem—trust has become a luxury.

Just think about it: now text, images, audio, video, and even code can be generated in large quantities instantly. The cost of creation is almost zero, and there are no barriers to dissemination. But this is precisely where the problem lies.

**When content is too easy to generate, four critical questions emerge:**

Who created this? A real person or AI?
Has it been altered after creation?
Who actually owns the rights to use it?
Can these pieces of information be verified across platforms?

Traditional internet cannot answer these questions. Centralized databases, opaque information silos, manual review processes—all fall behind the rapid updates of AI.

Therefore, the core issue now is not the creation itself, but—**how to verify the digital claims behind this content.**

This is why we need a completely new trust infrastructure. It must be designed from an AI-native perspective, specifically serving scenarios of autonomous agents, machine workflows, and large-scale content generation. It’s not about rigidly applying traditional logic to the AI era, but about rethinking how trust should be built.

Real person verification can't keep up with AI anymore, this is the end --- Web3 has been doing this for a long time, just waiting for traditional networks to catch up --- Trust infrastructure sounds nice, but it's just a set of on-chain certificates --- Haha, so in the end, it still has to be on-chain? Decentralized verification is the only way out --- Content has zero cost, so why am I still headache over subscription fees --- This problem is created by AI itself, now it wants AI to save it? Laughs --- Cross-chain verification sounds very difficult, ordinary users can't understand it --- At the core, it's still a power game, whoever controls the verification rights wins --- Should have reflected earlier, in the era of information explosion, humanity can no longer survive --- Blockchain to save the day? I bet five bucks it'll still come down to manual review

Opaque information silos have long needed to be broken, and blockchain verification is the real solution. It's easy to tell whether it's a real person or AI-generated—nothing difficult about it. On-chain proof of existence should be such a simple thing, so why does the traditional internet make it so complicated? Basically, it's because power is concentrated in the hands of a few; decentralization is the only way to solve the trust crisis. The idea of verifiable digital statements is good—has Web3 arrived?

Well... to put it simply, in the future, we'll have to rely on the blockchain to verify what's true and what's false. The trust infrastructure indeed needs to be rebuilt; on-chain rights confirmation is the way out. Deepfake is everywhere now, so how can we verify and play with it? So ultimately, it still comes down to distributed verification. Centralized platforms really can't save us. The problem is, there must be enough incentives to encourage everyone to participate in verification.
