And the answer is “spam filters and AI personal curation agents will drop any image without chain of custody from every feed that claims to be about reality”.

In a world where any image or video can be generated, chain of custody to a real-world ground-truth will be vitally important.

I think anything analog is going to be suspect; you can take a photo of a digital image and it could look like a real analog image.

Absent a chain of custody (perhaps including GPS baked into the signed image data blob), I think analog artifacts will become untrustable. Unless you can physically date them to pre-generative era!
