Media are already tagging articles with "AI was used to private this article and fact checked by journalists" as currently (mis)used there will be a sprinkling of AI everywhere, like rat droppings somewhere with an infestation.

A much better focus for the EU would be to stop feeding the hype machine. The current AI future sold by LLM VC funded juggernauts is not inevitable, plausible or desirable. The EU having AI strategies including funding for local riders on the bubble is a massive waste of money and a business own goal.

laws don't change much if there is no enforcement

but laws do provide a rationale for enforcement

so now there is a basis to make an enforcement effort, so it is still a good step

it still remains a difficult effort, but evidence can come from various quarters, not just "look at the pixels"

that someone might be lulled into false trust doesn't seem like a problem to me. people understand just passing a law doesn't mean everything made illegal instantly disappears

@EUCommission

I guess it would be enforced to the image generators, that they include by law a signal that that image is generated by AI (if it was me, it should be a file extension that cannot be losslessly converted to any other format).

They'll make a central EU app that will try to tell if it's AI while spying on you

Wouldn't want to hurt giant capitalists by forcing them to do better (like with age verification) after all. And forcing end users won't work because people are idiots and need big brother to watch over them

How's my EU impression?
