Eventually we'll have to move to a model where the only way one will be able to have confidence that something is real is to go to a physical building where a temporary curated collection of such objects is displayed, having been gathered from around the world by well-connected elite of connoisseurs. Even then, some of the objects may be such well-executed forgeries that even the experts are fooled. We might call such a place a 'gallery', as it to some extent attempts to replicate in the real world the act of scrolling through a library of images on a website.
>> such well-executed forgeries that even the experts are fooled.
More than a couple forgeries have been manufactured by the very experts tasked with detecting them. Other experts are incentivized not to detect forgery, or at least not speak to the scale of forgery as it may erode confidence in the legitimate market.
