That’s an interesting thought. Genetics is largely a mixing and copying process with occasional “hallucinations” in the form of transcription errors. Most of these errors result in the termination of the hallucinated code. Hallucinations that damage the termination process result in cancer. In the larger sense of evolution, there’s a robust external “review” process. Environmental pressures, predation, and resource availability weed out most of the mistakes and selects the results most likely to succeed.

Nope, pedant away. That’s a better way to convey what I was trying to say. Thanks.

“Generative” is a misnomer. It will never generate anything new, it can only regurgitate existing ideas based on patterns that already exist. It’s very good at pattern recognition and summarizing, but lacks the ability to form a distinct new idea.

This already been solved by public key cryptography? Sign the video with your private key, and publish the public key. Anyone can prove that the video is valid. To prove that the public key is valid, anyone can encrypt a message with it and asked for verification.
