100%, although dall-e is getting better with hands specifically.
Anyway, Microsoft can keep throwing compute on it until a point where it becomes impossible to distinguish fakes by sight and a mechanism like suggested will make sense.
But with homegrown ones I don't see it happening soon. Only those who spend a lot of money on top of the line GPUs and keep desktop PCs may get to that point. Those GPUs will jump in price like they did at crypto mining peak or become impossible to buy if Microsoft gets the government to require "AI license" for them.

Apple Music costs $10 and people easily spend ten times that on Patreon...
