I'm finding it harder and harder to tell whether an image has been generated or not (the main giveaways are disappearing). This is probably going to become a big problem in like half a year's time. Does anyone know of any proof of legitimacy projects that are gaining traction? I can imagine news orgs being the first to be hit by this problem. Are they working on anything?

Certificates like that can only guarantee that the work was published by someone who is the person they claim to be, it can't verify how that content came to be in their possession.

Hmm, I see. Surely wouldn't that be enough if they proclaimed they would only sign real photographs though?

Anyone can make such a promise. Verifying that they have followed through with it is not a technical challenge, it's a socioeconomic issue.
