I never understood how they were useful in the first place. But that's kind of beside the point. I assume this is referencing AI, but due to the fact that you've only posted one photo out of apparently four, I don't really have any idea what you're posting about.

The point of verification photos is to ensure that nsfw subreddits are only posting with consent. Many posts were just random nudes someone found, in which the subject was not ok with having them posted.

The verification photos show an intention to upload to the sub. A former partner wanting to upload revenge porn would not have access to a verification photo. They often require the paper be crumpled to make it infeasible to photoshop.

If an AI can generate a photorealistic verification picture, it cannot be used to verify anything.

Was it really that hard to Photoshop enough to bypass mods that are not experts at photo forensic?

I think it takes a considerable amount of work to photoshop something written on a sheet of paper that has been crumpled up and flattened back out.

If you have experience with the program it's piss easy

However most people do not have experience.

You also have to include the actual person holding something that can be substituted for the paper.

Sort of. You just need the vague correct position of the elbow/shoulder and facing the camera. You can get away with photoshopping different arms and most people wouldn't notice if you do it correctly.

So you need a guy with such experience on your social engineering team.
