Theoretically you could include the original signed unprocessed image (or make it available NFT-style) and let the viewer decide whether the difference to post-processed image is reasonable or unreasonable.
It would however make it impossible to partially censor images without giving away the non-AI proof, unless you had a trusted third party ™ verify the original and re-sign the censored version.
A ‘view cryptographically signed original’ button next to every instagram post would be complete LOL, though.
That seriously can’t ever work on the technical level. You can simply remove metadata from an image.
To be able to even remotely be able to do what you want, you’d have to create a new image format where this is unremovable and make it impossible to convert such images to other formats.
That would probably need to involve DRM, I don’t think it’s possible without that. And still there would be people who’d either crack your DRM or simply caught the direct output of the graphics card and they’ll have your image in an editable format.
The point is that any unsigned image is assumed to be AI generated. You can absolutely strip the metadata or convert it to some other format (there’s always the analog hole and it has to become a bitmap to be displayed) but then you’ve lost the proof you took it.

In short it’s impossible to do.
